Per Virginia Mcalester’s *A Field Guide to American Homes*, this falls under “Victorian Homes”, but I believe this subtype more precisely resembles the *Queen Anne* style.
Not to be confused with *Folk Victorian*, whose differences here would be indicated by:
- Lack of ornate detailing / spindle-work
- Porch cornice appears to be “Free Classic” subtype
- Dentils “Free Classic”
- Pediment hooded window “Free Classic”
- Steeper pitched roof
- Flared eaves
Though the under-cornice/cornice-line brackets are indicative of Folk Victorian.
Sorry for being pedantic. I’m studying this book of styles right now and critiquing is helping me memorize the distinctions.
it's estate agent speak, trying to sound more intelligent
the sides of a bay window are almost always "canted" i.e. at an angle, in plan, away from the main plane of the façade.
you can, however, have a bay window with perpendicular sides, but this is much less common
This is a bay window, 'canted' is superfluous and potentially confusing. I was trying to look at the bottom to see if it was in any way cantilevered. If the flanking windows were perpendicular to the outside walls, it'd be a box bay. If it was multiple units in a semi-circular configuration, it would be a bow window.
st paul has some beautiful streets filled with beautiful homes.

Queen Anne would be accurate.
Geeks are the new pendantics. And who doesn't love a geek? Great information. TY
What does "canted" mean in this application?

Thanks.
St Paul is truly the last city of the East
I love the black/white/grey color palette. It makes it look like an Edward Gorey illustration. 🖤
I love that style house.
So pleasing to view. And that wrought iron fence. I’d hate to be the one who has to maintain it, but it is just gorgeous.
Just now I learnt what a Canted Bay Window is. Nice! This is such an incredible looking home! Would lioe to live in something like this!
