Queen Anne houses in Somerville
Queen Anne is a late Victorian manner of irregular plans, steep roofs, turrets, bay windows and wrapping porches. It was the dominant fashion for American houses from about 1880 to 1900.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1867 to 1895. 10 stops, 1.6 miles end to end.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 18, 2026.
