 A History of Victorian Home Plans

Victorian style house plans combine several other main styles such as Italianate, Second Empire, and Queen Anne. Designers began implementing characteristics of several styles to create what is most commonly known as Victorian. This house style is sometimes viewed by critics as cluttered or overpowered with trimwork and ornamentation; however, these attributes made Victorian home plans so popular during the 1800s.

Today, Victorian style house plans are still being built throughout the United States. The architectural style remains popular and can nearly always be found in the older neighborhoods of America. Many people seek these types of homes in good condition for restoration because of their timeless appeal, and many of these homes can be found on the historical register.

Many modern Victorian house floor plans contain updated features such as exercise rooms and home theaters while retaining that old-world charm. Browse our Victorian house plans below to find the perfect home for you. Please contact us with any questions.
