architecture styles


Victorian architecture

The term Victorian architecture can refer to one of a number of architectural stylespredominantly employed during the Victorian era. As with the latter, the period of building that it covers may slightly overlap the actual reign, 20 June 1837 – 22 January 1901, of Queen Victoria. This reflects the British and French custom of naming architectural styles after the reigning monarch.
