Nashville Victorian
The Victorian era refers to the writings or taste during Queen Victoria of England’s reign. This type of design is the product of the Queen’s mid and late periods since her tenure was the longest in English history. Victorian designs date from the second half of the nineteenth century when America was exploring new approaches to building and home design. There are a variety of Victorian house styles, including Second Empire, Italianate, Stick, and Queen Anne Victorian Homes.

More about Nashville Victorian Advancements in machine technology meant that Victorian-era builders could easily incorporate mass-produced ornamentation such as brackets, spindles, and patterned shingles. The last true homes were built in the early 1900s, but contemporary home builders often borrow Victorian ideas, designing eclectic “neo-Victorians.” Strong historical origins include steep roof pitches, turrets, dormers, towers, bays, eyebrow windows and porches with turned posts and decorative railings. Ornamentation and decoration are used along with shingles or narrow-lap wood siding. These homes are mostly two-story in design. A number of these house styles are recreated on the fanciful “Main Street” at Disney theme arks in Florida, California, and Europe.
