The Fuller House is also significant as a good example of the Queen Anne style.  Character-defining features include vertical orientation, asymmetrical massing, steeply pitched roof, projecting bays, spindles on a decorative porch, and decorative trim, shingles, and bargeboards.  By circa 1910 the Fuller house received the addition of a full-width front porch exemplifying the history of changes that many of the Fletcher homes underwent at the turn of the twentieth century in accordance with a prominent trend.
