History The Victorian era lasted 64 years, from 1837 to 1901. Greek Revival architecture stretches from the later part of the Colonial era into the beginnings of the Victorian era. Similarly, the Arts and Crafts movement in The United States started a few years before the end of the Victorian era. Varieties of Victorian architecture There are also Folk and Shingle Style Victorian Houses. Please note that the names of architectural styles (as well as their adaptations) varied between countries. Many homes combined the elements of several different styles and are not easily distinguishable as one particular style or another. Highly decorated houses are sometimes called gingerbread houses. Notable Victorian era cities include London, Glasgow, Melbourne, Manchester and Mumbai. The Distillery District in Toronto contains the largest and best preserved collection of Victorian-era industrial architecture in North America. See also: Georgian architecture.
