LOL, it's a bit kinky to be "Victorian",
and perhaps a bit fem to be "gothic",
MichaelB would have a name for it,
if it exists.

I think that's what's generally called "Queen Anne Revival"

Thanks MikeB, I really like it and it proves to me,
Don's axiom "don't be a slave to symmetry" works.
My personal situation is, we (wife & I) landed on a
big vacant lot in June 2004, with a tent and tools.
We did a cheapo 8x12 shed then a 8x8x4 cistern,
(need a water source to get a building permit)
then did a fair good quality 20x20x10h, all boxy.
With the pressure off, I'd like to integrate the 3
boxes stylishly, and asymmetrically.

No, not revival, that is a Queen Anne house. The write up on the
house, if you visit it, states that it was built in the late 1800's for
an early resident's new wife. Try going to Mt. Dora the first weekend
in Feburary for the art festival. The house is downtown in the middle
of the festival area and you can have lunch on the veranda.

As you like it. I thought I have heard it both ways, and locally the revival
seems more prevalent

BTW, I have always LOVED the work of Norman Shaw.

Umm...well, I've worked with a number of houses and other buildings
of the early 1700s which I'd happily classify as being "Queen Anne",
so whilst the "Revival" (or sometimes "Style") tag usually gets
dropped for late 19th century ones in places where c.1710 buildings
are thin on the ground, it's certainly not *wrong* to include it as
part of the stylistic description.
