Our definition of Victorian house plans is actually the Queen Anne Victorian home style from the late Victorian period (1870-1900). During this period, Victorian house plans became one of the most popular home styles in the United States. Because of industrial developments and the advent of mass production during this time, home design broke away from the simple, symmetrical, box-shaped home designs that had been popular. Victorian house plans reflected the new ability and freedom to add elaborate detail and decoration to a home plan's facade. Features of Victorian house plans may include asymmetrical massing, "gingerbread" ornamentation, fish-scale shingles, turrets and/or towers at the corners, oval glass in the front door, elaborate and intricately decorated porches, and varieties of patterns and sometimes quite vibrant colors.
