Walking though Princess Anne, I was struck by the appearance of this building. It is hard to say exactly what is so special about it as the colors and the archetecture are unique and eye catching. I took this picture and did some research when I got home. That is when I learned that this house was built by the “lumber baron” of Princess Anne, Charles H. Hayman, who owned both the lumber concern and the local hardware store. While I did not get to enjoy it myself, it seems that the inside is the most impressive part of the home as it is decked out in fine woods.

Isn’t this style of house also called a Queen Anne? Is the Queen Anne of the houses the former Princess Anne of the town? I feel I should know this bit of historical trivia but I don’t.

For the edification of the potentially none of you who were interested in this, I did some research and they are different. Princess Anne was the granddaughter of Queen Anne’s second cousin.
