Victorian Architecture




The term Victorian architecture can refer to one of a number of Architectural Style s predominantly in the Victorian Era . As with the latter, the period of building that it covers may slightly overlap the actual reign of Queen Victoria after whom it is named.


VARIETIES OF VICTORIAN ARCHITECTURE


There are also Folk and Shingle Style Victorian Houses. Please note that the names of architectural styles (as well as their adaptations) varied between countries. Many homes combined the elements of several different styles and are not easily distinguishable as one particular style or another. Highly decorated houses are sometimes called Gingerbread houses.

Notable Victorian era cities include London , Boston , St. Louis , Galveston , San Francisco , Glasgow , Melbourne , Manchester , Mumbai and New Orleans .
