About Victorian House Plans

Victorian house plans are home plans patterned on the 19th and 20th century Victorian periods. Victorian house plans are characterized by the prolific use of intricate gable and hip rooflines, large protruding bay windows, and hexagonal or octagonal shapes often appearing as tower elements in the design. The generous use of decorative wood trim, including friezes and gable and window trim, is essential to capture the Victorian home plan style. Victorian house plans include porches in their floor plans, which are also designed to include intricate detailing. Victorian house plans are usually of frame, but brick versions are sometimes seen. Victorian home plans are more commonly designed as two story floor plans but an occasional ranch is also available. Please view the following outstanding collection of Victorian house plans.
