Why Columbus?







Victorian

victorian homes can be found in victorian village - how about that!One of my favorites, Victorian architecture dates from the second half of the 19th century, when America was exploring new approaches to building and design.

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 Victorians were constructed in the early 1900s, but contemporary builders often borrow Victorian ideas, designing eclectic “neo-Victorians.” These homes combine modern materials with 19th century details, such as curved towers and spindled porches.

In Columbus, you’ll find Victorian homes in Victorian Village (duh) Olde Towne East and the downtowns of some of the older suburbs.  A number of Victorian styles are recreated on the fanciful “Main Street” at Disney theme parks in Florida, California, and Europe.

I hope you are enjoying this home style primer while I’m on vacation. Credit: Information for this post was derived from REALTOR® Magazine Online’s Architecture Guide.
