What is the Victorian Revival style in architecture?

The Victorian Revival style in architecture is a nostalgic revival of the architectural designs and styles of the Victorian era, which spanned from the 1830s to the early 1900s in the United Kingdom. It is characterized by ornate and elaborate details, bold colors, and decorative flourishes. This style became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. Some of the prominent features of the Victorian Revival architecture include steeply pitched roofs, asymmetrical facades, towers, turrets, and bay windows. Many buildings in this style also feature ornamental ironwork, stained-glass windows, and elaborate woodwork.
