The Stick Style is identified by the presence of many applied turned wood ornaments, usually purchased from the pages of nationally distributed wood-working supply houses which specialized in creating individual turnings as well as ready-to-apply "stick" or "twig" brackets. A lot of Mahone Bay houses received some of these decorations as a modernization,  but the style is associated with an excessive utilization.

This style did not catch on in a big way in the down-to-earth  local home building market and is better remembered in Nova Scotia as a style adopted by railways for the creation of station houses. As an individual style it has roots in the Gothic Revival; note the spires and roof cresting of this building.

This is not but it does have a row of those heavy handed brackets (1) and a gable decorated with the modified "sunburst" decoration seen in all train stations of similar age.  Some buildings, such as this one, are so close to Queen Anne Revival, it is hard to give them a stylistic label which will stick. Labour and wood  was cheap in those boom days and an excess of use of these very inexpensive elements was perhaps to be expected in a world which considered lace-fringed curtains and antimacassars the height of interior decorating taste.
