These Painted Old Ladies of Victorian Style Homes from San Francisco definitely don’t seem to have lost any of their charm or appeal over the years. They look just as fantastic and desirable as they probably always have.
There is something magical about an old house from the Victorian era. Whether its the quality and the pride of the workmanship that happened all those years ago, or the quality of the simple materials that were available back then. These homes don’t seem to lose their appeal. In fact in real estate circles, you often here people say when looking for a house, that one of their essential wants is ‘character features’.
When compared to most of the modern ‘everyday’ houses of today, which often lack any personality, a character house from the Victorian era, would now be getting on to around 120-180 years old. And the fact that many of these houses were built from good old traditional materials, like brick, stone, timber and not much else, and they were built with common sense construction techniques, you usually end up with a house that will stand the test of time and assuming it has been well maintained over the years, will still look good today. Many modern homes are built with not much more than a 50 year lifespan, and from materials that were unheard of in the 1800’s.
