Background

Some of the main features of the Folk Victorian style include: porches with spindlework detailing, an l-shape or a gable front plan, details or inspiration from the Italianate or Queen Anne style. It is often identified by basic or simpler details with asymmetrical floor plans.^[1] The typical home is two-stories, with a single story porch.^[4]

Industrial Revolution

Many of these homes were put up during this time period due to the industrial revolution. ^[1]For those who were moving to the West needed simple and quick methods for building a house.^[5] The easy access to all of the light weight lumber, helped to create a pre-cut and inexpensive way to get an iteration of the Victorian home.^[5]
