Growing industrialization, the mass-production of more intricate building components, and inexpensive shipping afforded by an expanding railway system permitted the popularity of more ornate architectural styles. The Queen Anne style reached its zenith nationally in the 1880's although it continued to be fashionable for prosperous Lubbockites until about 1910, when less ornate styles became more desirable. Complex roof lines with a combination of hipped roofs and multiple gables, asymmetrical plans, decorative detailing and spindlework, interesting color or textural contrasts from a mixture of painted wood siding and patterned shingles, towers, turrets, prominent chimneys, porches, and bay windows are locally common Queen Anne features. As Lubbock grew, many Queen Anne houses were moved out of older areas or demolished and replaced with new construction.
