Victorian mansion
Gingerbread trim house
A Victorian mansion is a large, ornate house built during or in the style of Queen Victoria's reign (1837–1901), characterized by elaborate architectural details: turrets, gables, wraparound porches, decorative trim, and asymmetrical facades.
The term evokes grandeur tinged with gloom—haunted houses in fiction are often Victorian mansions.
The old Victorian mansion at the end of the street had stood empty for decades.
