Victorian mansions
Ornate period homes
Victorian mansions are large, ornate houses built during or in the style of Queen Victoria's reign (1837–1901), characterized by elaborate decorative details, asymmetrical facades, steep roofs, wraparound porches, and towers or turrets.
The term evokes Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne architectural styles: The neighborhood is lined with restored Victorian mansions.
They suggest grandeur, haunted-house atmosphere, or period elegance depending on context.
