The owners of this Detroit house have restored it to preserve its Victorian-era style
Though you might think Victorian architecture hasn’t traveled past its English borders, this detail-oriented construction style can be found almost everywhere. The name refers to the reign of Queen Victoria, who ruled England over much of the 19th century. As you’re about to see, her influence has even reached the U.S.
This Detroit home clearly shows the characteristic Victorian brick façades and steeply pitched roofs. The picture on top is from 1993 when it was beginning to crumble. The one at the bottom is from 2021 after it was restored. Wouldn’t it be cool to live in that neighborhood and walk past that traditional building?
