Queen Anne Cottage, Upatoi

There are several historic homes in Upatoi. This beautifully maintained Queen Anne is one of my favorites. An historic resources survey dates it to the 1920s but I believe it was more likely built in the 1880s or 1890s. It’s a representative example of the form and though I’m not sure if the dormers are original, they look like they may be. Later Victorians like this were inspirations for the less ornamented New South Cottages that were popular from the 1890s to the 1920s.
