British Queen Anne Revival architecture, also known as Domestic Revival, is a style using red brick, white woodwork and an eclectic mixture of decorative features that became popular in the 1870s for houses and larger buildings such as offices, hotels and town halls. It was popularised by the architects Norman Shaw and George Devey, and although it supposedly revived the original style of Queen Anne architecture, this was often far from the actual case.
