===Victorian Architecture=== This era was named after [[Queen Victoria]]. [[Victorian architecture]] featured gothic features such as spires, buttresses, and pointed arches. The era began in the 1830s as design went through the [[Gothic Revival]] and transitioned into the [[Victorian era]], which ended around 1901 with Queen Victoria's death. Buildings were changed due to the creation of the architect profession and the now easier access to materials. Railways introduced access to materials, and the building production time decreased. Other notable progressions during this time were iron-framed construction, plate glass, terracotta, and polished granite.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.architecture.com/explore-architecture/modernism |title=Victorian Architecture|publisher=English Heritage. |date= |accessdate=2022-07-12}}</ref> [[Victorian architecture]] seems to be the opposite of today's popular minimalistic design style. Victorian design is referred to as maximalist, overwhelming, and eccentric. Wealth became a cultural value that was demonstrated through design. This ostentatious display of ornamentation and detailing in furniture was to display class. Not only was this seen within the architecture and furniture, but it also appeared through graphic design and clothing. A bare room was equivalent to a lack of taste and wealth. The unique features that showcase the Victorian era are layered drapery, patterned wallpaper, and carved furniture. This era was during the [[Industrial Revolution]], and these new materials were used in the interior designs.
