Queen Anne style architecture in the United States

It's not a farmhouse.

It's a, a Victorian in the Queen Anne style.

Sorry, Victorian in the Queen Anne style house-

It's-

...

in The Berkshires

... sometimes called a Queen Anne Victorian.

It's beautiful, and it's lovely, and it's undergone extensive renovations, and so it's all because you left with $13 million worth of artwork.

...

Queen Anne Victorian suburbs everywhere.

Brooklyn, Brooklyn is like, uh, like 1950s America or something like that.

Like, a lot of it.

... six or eight guys, I need everybody.

Uh, we had a huge Queen Anne Victorian, uh, going, and, uh, it was summer so we're, we're gonna start running out of gas, uh, physically pretty quick.

And so they sent me everybody they could muster and then they started moving, uh, companies into backfill for them, and then other companies, and then Mackinaw City, uh, sent guys, and then, uh, Lower Peninsula started moving up to cover Mackinaw City.

How they get here, it was middle of the day so they're able to muster over at the ferry terminal, and then jump on a ferry boat, and then get here, and then they walk to the scene- Uh, that sounds pretty quick and easy.

Which brings us to two people the legend of Robert the Doll would treat very unfairly, William and Emeline Abbott.

William Abbott came to Key West from the West Indies sometime before 1880, along with his wife, Emeline.

Both had Bahamian roots.

He started out as a laborer.

The obituary in the Key West Citizen the next day was glowing.

The artist, the architect, the devoted native son.

It didn't mention the doll once, and his cruelty to his wife carried on after his death because Gene had written Ann out of his will.

Everything went to his sister, including the European antiques that would have kept Ann comfortable for the rest of her life.

The house was built in the 1880s in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood.

And at the time, this beautiful Queen Anne Victorian was not remotely the nicest house in the neighborhood.

Van Ness Avenue was a showplace, a boulevard of upper middle class houses and some very large, elaborate houses.

And so if you want to be kind of near that center of power, that locus of power, you might build your house a block over or a block

If anyone has been to the Hoth-Villainthal House, they know how cool it is because it is a beautiful building.

Talk about the neighborhood that it's in and what makes it special, to use your word from before.

It's an 1886 Queen Anne Victorian.

It was originally a residence for an upper middle-class family.

Both things can be true, which is deeply annoying when what we want is a clean ending and a tiny little gavel sound.

So what happens to a woman who has been acquitted of a double murder and lives in a small city that has decided she did it? Within roughly two months, Lizzie and Emma bought a big Queen Anne Victorian on the hill, the fashionable neighborhood she'd always wanted to live in.

Lizzie named it Maplecroft, carved the name into the front step, and started calling herself Lizbeth.

Children reportedly threw gravel at her windows, pelted the house with eggs, and rang the doorbell in the middle of the night.
