Victorian Gothic HouseDouble Bay (Sydney), Australia Victorian Gothic was a scholarly adaptation of the earlier Regency Gothic, which then became popular in ordinary housing. Gothic taste is equated with a romantic view of the world and nostalgia for England. Specific features are: elaborately carved timber bareboards and fretwork, the use of pointed arch forms in verandah decoration and windows, tall chimneys with sculptured chimney pots, steeply pitched roof gables, often narrow easement windows with leadlight panes. |
