TORONTO - Nov. 5, 2014 - PRLog -- TORONTO, ONTARIO September 25, 2011. What is a Victorian house, and why are they special? There is so much information for new home buyers to take in that every bit of clarification helps. That’s why Heather Hadden, founder of ILoveToronto.com, decided to shed light on another realty mystery.

“ILoveToronto.com is striving to curate news about Torontonians’ lifestyles as well as to introduce new citizens to Canada’s largest city,” explains Heather. “Most of our content deals with current affairs and informs about upcoming events. Occasionally, we dive deeper into a real estate topic — we are, after all, Realtors®. This was the case with our History of Victorian Architecture,” Heather concludes.

And dive deep they did, having prepared a detailed guide to what Victorian means and how Victorian homes are different from their neighbours. Did you know that Victorian is not even a real architectural style of its own? Instead, it was a period of several decades of Queen Victoria’s rule. Almost sixty-four years at the second half of the 19th century brought about the revival of several older architectural styles. Many eclectic builders in this period even decided to combine a few different styles to create buildings with very unique features.

Cabbagetown is a Toronto neighbourhood best known for sporting many houses from the Victorian era. Toronto is fortunate enough to be rich in architectural styles of many kinds, ranging from houses from the times of the first settlers all the way to ultra-modern residences.

Heather says that one of the reasons for the introduction of this Victorian guide is the fact that her team serves many neighbourhoods with these Victorian houses. “We hope that our guide will help our clients and other Torontonians make informed decisions about their next dwelling,” wraps up Heather Hadden.
