Victorian buildings
Nineteenth-century ornate structures
Victorian buildings are structures built during the reign of Queen Victoria of Britain (1837–1901) or in the architectural styles popular during that era.
These buildings typically feature ornate decorative elements, steep rooflines, asymmetrical facades, and elaborate trim work such as gingerbread detailing on porches.
The term encompasses various substyles including Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne.
