4 The Charles Myers House
77-79 North Broad Street This beautiful house is designed almost entirely of the Queen Anne Victorian style. It was built in 1887 and competes with the Nathan James House as one of the most unique houses in the Borough. One of the most obvious characteristics of the Queen Anne Style is the wide variety of textured wall surfaces such as stone, pebbles, brick, and decorative brick, and concrete aggregate. Queen Anne is also evident in the multi-leveled roof profile, recessed upper story porches, projecting bay windows, the encircling veranda, and the circular turret. Another unique feature of the Queen Anne style which is seen in this home are the Queen Anne windows which have upper sashes of small square panes (also found in the Nathan James House).
