Great Britain
Early in the Victorian era, until the 1840s houses were still influenced by the classicism of Regency styles.

From the 1850s domestic buildings also became increasingly influenced by the gothic revival, incorporating features such as pointed, projecting porches, bay windows, and grey slate.
