The definition for “Elegance” I think it would surprise you of just how many of these old Victorian homes are scattered all through out the United States and around the world! If I were younger and had a lot more money, a lot more money I would definitely be living in a Victorian house right now.

If your wondering why I have posted Victorian houses on our poetry blog today, it’s because when I look at a Victorian home I see poetry. Every detail of these house were crafted with not just necessity but beauty. From the archways to the door knobs and door hinges it was pure art and pride…..pride, something that’s missing these days. To many, this kind of decor would be just too much, you know, too busy, also too much work and upkeep. Notice how many different colors are painted on one house. Folks were not afraid to express themselves. The homes had large beautiful porches and they made good use of them, totally awesome!
Queen Anne is the most elaborate and the most eccentric. The style is often called romantic and feminine, yet it is the product of a most unromantic era — the machine age. The Queen Anne style became fashionable in the 1880s and 1890s. https://www.thoughtco.com/queen-anne-architecture-in-the-usa-176003
