'Roslyn' an 1890 pattern book house in Victoria, B.C.  Queen Anne elements include the tower; fancy-cut shingles applied in horizontal bands; inset balconies; other verandas and extensive turned woodwork. The original paint scheme served to accentuate the various building elements. Each different material was a different colour.   This wonderful Queen Anne house has counterparts in Jacksonville; and Brookville, Ohio; as several contractors used the same mail-order plans to build matching homes across the continent. (We would like to hear of any more houses that were built to these plans.  Please contact editor@oldhousehistory.com if you know of any other houses built to similar plans. Thank you!)
