Victorian Era architecture

Victorian Era architecture, popular in the late 19th century, is characterized by elaborate details, decorative trim, and intricate designs. It often features steeply pitched roofs, ornate facades, asymmetrical shapes, and vibrant colors. Common elements include bay windows, towers, patterned brickwork, and decorative woodwork called "gingerbread." This style reflects the era’s fascination with craftsmanship and aesthetics, blending influences from Gothic, Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne styles. Overall, Victorian architecture creates visually rich and ornate structures that emphasize elegance, complexity, and individual craftsmanship.
