- From Wikipedia on Gothic Revival Archictecture:
"The Gothic Revival (also referred to as Victorian Gothic or Neo-Gothic) is anarchitectural movement that began in the late 1740s in England. Its popularity grew rapidly in the early 19th century, when increasingly serious and learned admirers of neo-
Gothic styles sought to revive medieval Gothic architecture, in contrast to the neoclassicalstyles prevalent at the time."American Victorian Gothic house - By the late 1800s, the fanciful details of Gothic Revival architecture had waned in popularity. Gothic Revival ideas did not die out, but they they were most frequently reserved for churches and large public buildings.
- Queen Anne became an architectural fashion in the 1880s and 1890s, when the industrial revolution was building up steam. Home builders were caught up in the excitement of new technologies which allowed cheap factory-made, pre-cut architectural parts, especially bricks and tiles. - Queen Anne Architecture in the USA
Other probable hand-made Gothic influences on the mass-produced Queen Anne style are:
conical towers (not steeples)West front of Notre Dame Cathedral, Reims, France American Queen Anne with Gothic features - front-facing gables
- ridge ornaments and finials on roofs (pseudo gargoyles)
- leadlight glass windows (replacing intricate stained glass) and
- the sets of small coloured panes of glass above feature windows

- ornate gable ornament (instead of ornamented barge boards)
- gable ventilators (compare the top gable inserts in both pictures at RHS)

Haberfield Gothic
In 1901, Haberfield developer Richard Stanton, advertised some available house designs as being of 'domestic Gothic' style, which historian Vincent Crow describes as having a 'characteristic cone', usually on a verandah roof.[1] These are also called 'turrets' and are usually round or pyramid-shaped towers. The tall narrow towers are amusingly known as 'candle-snuffers'.[2]
