100 DAYS OF CENTRAL MASS FEATURES VICTORIAN HOME STYLES
Victorian style homes are referring to an era in time known as the Victorian period. This was between 1837-1901 and corresponds to when Queen Victoria ruled Britain. There are several different styles of Victorian homes: Second Empire, Queen Anne, Stick, Shingle, and Richardsonian Romanesque.
Did you know that the South End in Boston is recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as the largest and oldest Victorian neighborhood in the country? That is very cool!
Features that identify Victorian home Styles:
-
Steeply pitched roof of irregular shape, usually dominant front facing gable
-
Textured shingles (and/or other devices) to avoid smooth walled appearances
-
Partial or full width asymmetrical porch, usually one story high and extended along one or both side walls
-
Asymmetrical facade
