Eastlake Galleried shotgun doubles ( 1880-1905)
Offically, the Victorian Age extended from 1837 when Victoria became Queen of England to her death in 1901. We use this "catch all phrase" to describe the many different styles which evolved during this time: including Eastlake, Bracket and Queen Ann styles. The Eastlake style is noted for its embellishment of brackets, piercework and spindle bands. These gingerbread houses are an example of this happy, exuberant and creative architecture.
Shotgun Double (1840-1940) This house type is a 2 family house composed of 2 shotgun singles joined under one roof and separated by a center wall. 2113-15 & 2114-16 Chartres have a front gallery (porch) and a Victorian facade.
