The Victorian House

The Victorian House

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
The remarkably rich and diverse legacy of American Victorian architecture has left an indelible imprint on the national landscape. Inspired by the aesthetics of British nineteenth-century Garden Suburb movement, the style crossed the Atlantic in young Queen Victoria's reign and took on new and uniquely American forms and materials. The irresistible charm of these delightful period houses has created a renewed and still growing appreciation for them. From the Atlantic Seaboard to San Francisco's beautifully restored "painted ladies", The Victorian House will appeal to design enthusiasts, nostalgia lovers, and students of architectural history.
