　　When you think of Victorian style homes, you probably imagine it as a Queen Anne home, complete with wonderful trim(饰物)painted in a contrasting color and stained glass windows.Victorian homes were built to leave a deep impression on others, and they are still impressive today.If you have a chance to visit one Victorian style home, you will find the following typical characteristics in the place you are visiting：

　　Narrow and Tall

　　Most Victorian houses are narrow, which allows these impressive beauties to be built on a small amount of land.They are often close to other Victorian homes, usually near the center of town.What these houses lack in width they make up for in height; a typical Victorian house is three stories tall and on a full－size basement.

　　Stairs

　　Because the Victorian is built to impress, intricate(错综复杂的)or grand entrances are usually constructed.These stairways usually lead to wrap－around front porches decorated with turned wood or wrought iron railings.

　　Towers and Turrets (塔楼)

　　These unique rooms could be studies, bedrooms or libraries.They give Victorian homes a castle feel and recall the Gothic mansions that inspired early Victorian designs.Because these houses are often three or even four stories tall, these turrets can be quite impressive.
