Victorian

Victorian-style homes, named after the Victorian era of the 1800s, became popular through the early 1900s with the new-found affluence of a growing middle class during the Industrial Age. Other home styles often referred to as Victorian architecture, such as Gothic Revival, Italianate, Second Empire and Queen Anne, all share elaborate design elements and the time period in which they were built. The ornate design of Victorian homes lends itself to more intricate front door designs as well. It’s more common than not to see Victorian front doors with glass, especially with decorative or privacy glass. More elaborate homes feature French doors, sidelites and transoms.
