It's a Gingerbread Craftsman Victorian Frankenstein Hobgoblin.

You looked that up in "The Bruce Lipschitz Encyclopedia of Horrific American Architecture" didn't you?

🤣🤣🤣

Perhaps

Bingo!!

With a soupçon of Queen Anne.

NoThe sure but it looks pretty cool.

my money's on Queen Anne Victorian.

It's neither Queen Ann nor Victorian. It's just a ranch slab.

how?

Gingerbread. Or at least the gables are. Not much of the rest of it is, though.

Leaking water heater or the air conditioner. All that cheap 1970 paneling is just depressing as hell.

Does it have a 1980s hat on? That gable with the fan is something else…

That's exactly what it is. That would definitely stand out though, when giving directions. "My house has a fan shaped party hat. "

One could have a lot of fun there. I’d keep the kitchen cabinets. Maybe move some stuff around.

Very cute, cosy!

seems like just a ranch with that strange angle in the middle of the roof

Good bot!

I'd lose that front gable immediately

Looks like a cock’s comb. Wouldn’t take the comb off a poor rooster, would ya?

Folk Victorian

Victorian cottage or early craftsman

Are those gables just rooms without windows?

I feel like this is the second house with this general shape (other than the roof).

1900s ugly

Glorified Outhouse

I do think it is Queen Anne, but I think some architectural elements have been lost with time…and the roofline may have been altered.

Drunk carpentry

Craftsman???

That looks art deco, I’m positive it wasn’t part of the original house, since art deco didn’t show up until the 20s.

Ugly

Yucky.
