Another Mahone Bay variant of the Queen Anne, this one on Fairmont Street near the Anney River. The half-circle window in the gable is derived from the Palladian. . Notice that there is a three-sided embayment covering two floors.

Another at 20 Pleasant Street. Because of the verandas, these homes all managed to look grand whatever the area of their floor plan.



404 Main Street appears to be an Edwardian knock-off  of these earlier homes. Aside from its size it qualifies as an example of the style known as "Victorian Plain" (1880-1915). Notice that the full cornice is actually faked.
