Victorian Homes

A Victorian home in the UK refers to a home built during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901).  The Industrial Revolution saw a housing boom during this time period and these homes are still prominent in most British towns and cities.

These homes follow many styles including classic, Italian, gothic, Queen Anne Style and arts and crafts styles.  By the 1850's the more ornate, Italian style home was by far the most popular style with its use of stucco.  The next wave of popular style came with the gothic revival that featured pointed steeples, projecting porches, bay windows and grey slate.

Here are some examples of Victorian homes
