Mt. Vernon's Victorian

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but words nor pictures due these Victorian style houses the justice they deserve. The dominant characteristics are the low pitched roof, two or three stories high, many of the houses pediment above the door and windows, and one of the houses ha an oreal window that jets out on the second floor. Victorian houses are very picturesque and asymmetrical. The portico usually balances out the symmetry. The portico usually has columns that are Americanized and inviting. Below are some pictures to clarify what is being seen.
