examples of late 1800's architecture?

Question

anyone know of a good place to find examples of houses and other buildings from this time period?

In the US.

like pictures and things like that

Answer 1

Many local historical societies in the United States have preserved houses built in the latter part of the 1800s, including my home town. Indeed, the further West a town was, the more likelihood that the oldest historical houses would be dated from the late 1800s.

Wish I could tell you something, wrote something wonderful but the Yamsters won't let me send it.

Where in the World do you wish to go? I'd suggest Ohio as the state has always been modestly prosperous and once a building was built often it stayed up especially in small and large towns and even major cities such as Coloumbus and Cleveland - - -
One of the best options is in Columbus --

"""Cool architecture and neat location
Victorian Village is one of Columbus' trendier neighborhoods. Located between downtown and the Ohio State University, it is filled with renovated Victorian-style homes and is within walking distance of OSU, the Short North, the North Market, the Arena District, and more.
Victorian village is composed of over 1,000 buildings and was designated as a historic district by the city in 1973.
Victorian Village is officially bounded by Goodale Avenue on the south, N. High Street on the east, W. Fifth Avenue on the north, and Harrison and Neil Avenues on the west. Some people consider areas to the north up to the OSU campus and areas to the west primarily along Pennsylvania and Michigan Avenue part of Victorian Village.
The area was farmland until the late 1800s, as the growth of downtown and OSU and the extension of a streetcar line up N.
High Street contributed to the development of Victorian Village between 1870 and 1920. The decline of the area began in the 1930s with the popularity of the automobile and the creation of the northwest suburbs.
Redevelopment of the area began in the 1970s; today, over eighty percent of Victorian Village buildings have been renovated. Here are some examples of Victorian Village architecture:
755 Dennison Av. Victorian Gothic house featuring typical extravagant use of complex shapes and elaborate detailing.
76 W. Starr Av. High Italianate style house.
1265 Neil Av. Queen Anne house with Eastlake ornamentation. Queen Anne houses typically have varying textures and colors with steeply pitched roofs and one or more towers.
1163 Neil Av. Richardsonian Romanesque house, similar to the Queen Anne style but featuring multi-colored stone.
1035 Hunter Av. Vernacular Victorian house showing Queen Anne and other influences. A "vernacular" includes features from one or more styles; American influences are contained in this home.
1045 Hunter Av. American Foursquare. American foursquare is a more dramatic reaction against Victorian style and features a nearly square, box-like appearance.
1013 Hunter Av. Hunter House, a simple Italianate structure, popular in the US from the Civil War until the early 20th century.""

On the West Coast the obvious is San Francisco but even better check out Port Townshend in Washington State.

"""The City of Dreams, Port Townsend is one of the finest examples of a Victorian Seaport in the United States.
Originally named 'Port Townshend' by Captain George Vancouver (for his friend the Marquis of Townshend) in 1792, Port Townsend was immediately recognized as a good, safe harbor, which it remains to this day. The official settlement of the city took place on the 24th of April, 1851. Called the "City of Dreams" because of the early speculation that the city would be the largest harbor on the west coast, wealthy and prosperous, somehow though, those early dreams failed to materialize...
Noted for a vast collection of Victorian homes, the city also has more than a dozen larger buildings that are well preserved, the Carnegie Library, the US Post Office, and the Jefferson County Courthouse to name just a few. We've provided a bibliography for teachers, "Teaching with Historic Places" from the National Historical Register. This area truly lends itself to the living history experience and should be explored. View our local museums.""""

Or go to Melbourne Australia which is a time capsule.

"""Many of these suburbs feature recently renovated Edwardian and Victorian homes. A number of the inner-city suburbs were originally used for light industry. Warehouses no longer in use have been renovated into apartments. On-street parking is common throughout the inner-city region.""

And though no homes and actually built at the turn of the 20th Century downtown Honolulu especially Merchant Street and vicinity play host to several wonderful buildings.



Peace.
