Architectural styles in houses?
Is the French 2nd empire style considered Victorian? It seems they would be two distinct styles in themselves.
Hi,
No the French 2nd Empire is not considered Victorian. For example, Paris was defined and "re-designed" during the Napolean era to convey permanence to Imperialist buildings. This is "key" to the 2nd Empire style.
On the other hand, Victorian style is quite different. In fact Boston, S.F., London and New Orleans are "Victorian" style cities. Pairs is far different than these cities.
Might I suggest you click to photos of Victorian buildings and then photos of French 2nd Empire buildings....you can see the clear differences.
