Victorian Era homes reflected the zeal and grandeur of the Industrial Revolution. It is common to see architectural details from two or more Victorian styles in one home. The mouldings are large and built-up from several pieces and can be extremely intricate. Picture rails, wainscoting, chair rails and plate rails are common features. When building or remodeling a Victorian Era home, consider using walnut, pine, oak, alder and mahogany stained a dark color.
