Many homes combined the elements of several different styles and are not easily distinguishable as one particular style or another. Highly decorated houses are sometimes called gingerbread houses.
Notable Victorian era cities include London, Boston, Saint Paul, St. Louis, Galveston, San Francisco, Oak Bluffs, Glasgow, Melbourne, Manchester, Mumbai and New Orleans.
