"It's a vernacular house (which does not at all imply allusions to high style) with a couple of Queen Anne elements thrown in (pedimented front gable, shingled gable ends). Many homes of various styles had rusticated foundations and asymetrical porches. The rounded arch window surround is so heavy as to be almost Romanesque, though that doesn't make it a Romaneque home either." Very true, which is why I called it a Generic Queen Anne in my original post. When you get right down to it, there are very few stylistically pure homes in this country that don't borrow from a number of architectural disciplins. That's my biggest problem with the term vernacular -- if you get right down to it virtually every thing is vernacular. The Queen Anne style in and of itself is a vernacular style in that it incorporates widely disparate elements such as that Romanesque Arch. The two styles were all the rage at roughly the same period of time in the United States (not to mention Beaux Artes, Second Empire, and others) and architects (even Richardson) transposed elements from one to the other, especially when the client was a private individual who might have some very definitive ideas on what he/she wanted in a home.

I would call the house a bungalow also. Check in your public library. There are lots of books with pictures of bungalows that will give you ideas of what might be period correct. I like Jane Powell's books best for restoration suggestions. Moving the steps seems like a really bad idea to me. If you want to improve access, why not put your mailbox on a post at sidewalk level? Not only would it be cheaper, but you would not be ruining the integrity of the house. There are some very good looking period style mailboxes available if you want to carry the theme. As for the windows, personally I would keep the present windows, maybe get storm windows if heating is an issue. They can be restored if needed. Original windows plus storm windows are at least as good as dual pane windows. Despite what salespeople tell you, replacement windows are never as good. If you must replace them, please do not get vinyl windows. In my opinion, they are an abomination. I cringe when I see them. I don't even like them on modern houses, much like a lovely old treasure like yours. Rosefolly

Interesting some of the houses you can come across. I was surprised to find such a polarizing design and wondered where the concept may have come from. Here is a one that surprised me. Built in a small mid central WI town in 1863. You don't see much of this anymore. Wonder why the kitchen is so small comparative to the scale of the rest of the house. https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/216589099_zpid/300000-_price/1198-_mp/globalrelevanceex_sort/44.371232,-88.136101,44.143537,-88.702583_rect/10_zm/4f9d65c26cX1-CR19f8hr1y56c8u_13epzj_crid/

Transitional with a bit of British Colonial, but those furnishings are usually mahogany. No one is going to b able to give you a for sure paint color.
