"Victorian architecture in the United States was copied straight from England"

- Stephen Gardiner

About this Quote

Victorian architecture in the United States was heavily affected by the architecture of England during the Victorian period. This is due to the reality that much of the immigrants to the United States during this period were from England, and they brought with them the architectural styles of their homeland. As an outcome, a number of the structures built in the United States during this period were modeled after the architecture of England. This includes the use of elaborate details, such as turrets, spires, and decorative moldings, along with the use of products such as brick and stone. The influence of Victorian architecture in the United States can still be seen today in a number of the older structures in cities throughout the nation.
