There were several architectural works which had certain "Queen Anne" motives before 1870s. Here were examined such demestic works by Philip Webb and George Devey. The house at 1, Palace Green, London, designed in 1868 by Webb seems "Queen Anne" for its sash-windows and segmental arches in red brick wall. In the course of designing this house, there were some trouble between Webb and J. Pennethorne, the architect of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, over the style of the house. But it was a battle of style between Classical architect and Gothic one, and not the revolt of the 'Queen Anne' architects against the Gothicists. In Webb's work, there is another interesting forerunner; 14, Holland Park Road, London, designed in 1864. This house was enlarged twice in 1877 and in 1892. The enlargement shows how the original Gothic-like house which was similar to the Red House in Bexleyheath, Kent, grew into the "Queen Anne" style. At the same time the process shows the Gothic elements in the "Queen Anne" style. Concerning Devey, views among scholars differ on his importance. British scholars usually regard him as the impotant pioneer creating the new style, whereas foreign scholares do not place him such a high position. In Devey's work, especially country house Betteshanger in 1861, we find the first revival of Dutch-gable and other non-Gothic features. Although their uniqueness and novelty in detail and composition, both Webb and Devey remained within their own architectural world and they did not publish their works. That was the reason why their influence did not spread rapidly among younger architects who were anxious to creat new style. In that sence, Webb and Devey were not the creater of the "Queen Anne" fashion, but isolated forerunners.
