EspañolVICTORIAN ARCHITECTURE
(Redirected from Victorian Architecture)
The term 'Victorian architecture' can refer to one of a number of architectural styles 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.
★ British Arts and Crafts movement
★ Gothic Revival
★ Italianate
★ Jacobethan (the precursor to the Queen Anne style)
★ Neoclassicism
★ Neo-Grec
★ Painted ladies
★ Queen Anne
★ Renaissance Revival
★ Romanesque Revival (includes Richardsonian Romanesque)
★ Second Empire
★ Stick-Eastlake
★ Industrial 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.
The South End of Boston is recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as the oldest and largest Victorian neighborhood in the United States.[1][2][3]
The Distillery District in Toronto contains the largest and best preserved collection of Victorian-era industrial architecture in North America.
