I really think Victorian houses are really pretty.....when I went to San Francisco last summer, I took many pictures of victorian houses. I also went to see the VH from Full House.

But anyway, I've seen pics of Victorian houses, but I've never seen what the INSIDE of a victorian house looks like. I know it's different from a normal house. Does anyone have any pictures from the inside of a victorian houses?
One of my friends here (you know who you are ;) ) said she lived in a victorian house when she was younger.....I think she's trying to see if she can find any pics of her victorian house.

I love Victorian houses too and there was a time I really wanted one but I would have to need "2005 copper plumbing and electricity, the walls cannot have any lead paint etc.

They are beautiful if you can find one with the "2005" changes.

I think they're pretty much only in San Francisco. I went there last summer.

You'd probably see some in Chicago and along the eastern border cities like Buffalo, NY since the architecture in those areas is similar to that of my town. As a matter of fact, a lot of movies were shot in Toronto to depict Chicago (just was cheaper to film here so they used us). There's a downtown area in Toronto called "Cabbagetown" (don't know why that name) and also a very upscale area called "Yorkville" that have loads of beautiful Victorian homes. In the 70s a lot of people bought them up cheap since they were very rundown, renovated them like new (even plumbing and electrical all replaced) and now they're worth a fortune. I'd say easily $750,000 to $1.5 million a piece!

I'd like to own the Victorian house they used for Full House......but idk, when I went to San Francisco, all of them were beautiful, so I could live in any victorian house and be happy! :D

Victorian houses or anything victorian is really pretty. That's how my mom decorates. She's not an interior designer...but she damn well should be.

There are a lot of victorian houses in my town. Or in Cape May... they have beautiful ones down there that are right on the beach. They're famous for their victorian architecture.

I love Cape May.

NYC has Victorian houses in alot of the different boroughs. I've seen them In Staten Island and Brooklyn.

In one block you would see some town houses and up the block a Victorian house.

Or even a row of colonial houses and then a Victorian.

the house they used on Full House is actually a Town House, not a Victorian House. :)

I love both kinds though! I live in a boring old bungalow house.

Technically it's considered a Victorian Townhouse. There ya go! Its true - the house I lived in was actually a bit wider, but the narrower homes are very typical on SF. Just makes sense since there are so many hills - easier to build, taller homes than say ranch styles on the lots.

Again, Victorian farmhouses were usually wider also. Actually, I wouldn't want to live in a tall, narrow house. Too many stairs!!

i went there a few weeks ago though i didn't stay the night. it's been preserved to look just like it did when it was built. there's an old fashioned typewriter in the lobby and the stairs creak when you walk on them. it's really cool. i didn't experience any drastic hauntings but i felt a sudden rush of hot air pass by me once. teddy roosevelt and john wayne have stayed there.
