About Second Empire ArchitectureThis group is all about the Second Empire Architectural Style. Second Empire was the first true style of the Victorian Era in the US (roughly 1860-1900). It was considered very modern and immitated the latest French building fashion during the reign of Napoleon III (France's Second Empire) from which the style takes it's name. Most people think of the Second Empire Style as the quintessential "Victorian" house. After the 1870's, the basic Second Empire style had become a composite of an Italian Villa with a Mansard roof and Carpenter Gothic details. |
