Victorian House Plans

Details, Details, Details! In the mid-19th century, architects moved toward rich, unique designs, and away from simple Colonial home styles. The Industrialization Era played a big role, as new framing options were available and mass-produced. The availability of decorative ornamentation became relatively inexpensive. Bay windows, turrets and multiple rooflines replaced the rectangular shapes of the past. These asymmetrical designs featured wide verandas and grand towers and often vibrant colors. Victorian style homes began their downfall around 1920, but unique Victorian design homes are still perfect for those wanting a home filled with opulence inside and out.
