Sub Section: Architecture, Victorian Style Homes and Mansions of the Rich and Famous: "When viewing the architecture of the period the term that can best describe the age is "eclecticism", the liberty to choose from many styles. As a result of this eclecticism, styles came and went overlapping and flowing one into another during the period we call the Victorian Age."

Sub Section: The Architects: "The architect's profession is that of building, and he  not only builds structures of practical use, but he attempts also to produce buildings of artistic appearance, which add to the general beauty of their surroundings. The architect thus has a great responsibility, for not only does he, by his work, express the ideals of beauty and comfort of his time, but he also has a wonderful opportunity to guide the taste of the public along the lines of good design and artistic expression."

Sub Section: Architectural Styles: "The term style refers to the consistent qualities and features that link different works together into groups. The concept of style includes form elements, the relationships of those forms, the qualities of the work of art (including expression), and even subjects. Style is an abstract concept or structure; no one work from any period embodies all aspects of a style." A Digital Archive of American Architecture.
