The main Victorian residential architectural styles are:
Queen Anne: Full or partial-width asymmetrical porch that may wrap around to other sides; steeply pitched, irregular roofs, textured, ornate shinglesRichardsonian Romanesque: Built with rough-faced stone or sometimes brick rather than wood, with lot of details, like parapets, towers, and archesStick Style: Steeply pitched, gabled roof; diagonal or curving supports on porches; steeply pitched cross gables; wooden wall cladding, flat ornamentationShingle Style: Asymmetrical facade, ample use of shingles on siding and roof, front porch, multi-level eavesEastlake: An architectural and furniture design movement identified by spindlework or gingerbread ornamentation which was done by machinesSecond Empire: Distinctive mansard roof, dormer windows, molded cornices, and decorative bracketsFolk Victorian: Basic, symmetrical house design with some details, like porches with spindlework, brackets under eaves, and gabled roof
Of course, there are many variations and subtypes within the primary styles of Victorian houses. Reassembling Design Associates Inc., and the same restoration team, Norton oversaw the rebuilding of the historic house. Completed in 2004, it even has replica door hardware that matches the original.
