These ornate Pump Rooms were built in 1862 to attract tourists after mineral spa water was found locally. Tenbury Wells, Worcestershire, UK
This Victorian home was nestled among the trees in the middle of a block in Santa Cruz, CA. I couldn't get a shot of the complete house, but was able to shoot this angle framed by trees.
Fantastic Victorian building designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864. Unsurprisingly, the building is Grade I listed and is nowadays utilised by independent retailers. It is located on Call Lane, a stone's throw from the famous Kirkgate Market.
An old fashioned look to this B&W photo of Leadenhall Market London. The first market here was opened in 1446
How about this for a town hall? It was built in 1887 for the burghers of Fremantle in Western Australia and was designed by the architects Grainger and D'Ebro in the Victorian Free Classical style; the fine clock tower is 32 metres (105 ft) high.
Since I was here in 2013, the building has undergone a major restoration, including a colour change back to its original Victorian hue. In 1963 it ceased to be the main council office; these days it’s a concert hall and visitor centre, complete with dining facilities, function rooms and an atrium.
Part of the Delaware County Courthouse Square District in Delhi, New York. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Wemyss Bay Railway Station on Scotlands West Coast (Inverclyde District). The most amazing railway station showing Victorian Ironwork at its very best. It has the most wonderful roof. Taken on Canon EOS1 with 14mm lens. Scan from velvia.
Tidy row of houses.
This photo was taken by a Kowa/SIX medium format film camera with a Kowa 1:4/40mm lens and Asahi Pentax ø100 Skylight filter + adapter using Kodak Portra 160 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
Many of the Victorian houses in San Francisco have been painted in vibrant colors accentuating the stylish architectural elements of the era. There are some moody, darker and more melodramatic examples, however, such as this edgy residence.
This photo was taken by a Zenza Bronica S2 medium format film camera with a NIKKOR-H 1:3.5 f=5cm lens and Zenza Bronica 82mm L-1A filter using Fuji 400-H film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
Fall is here at the Mark Twain House in Hartford, Connecticut.
The house was designed by Edward Tuckerman Potter, an architect from New York City. When it was being built, the Hartford Daily Times noted, "The novelty displayed in the architecture of the building, the oddity of its internal arrangement and the fame of its owner will all conspire to make it a house of note for a long time to come."
From a photographic point of view I really like the way this beautiful Victorian house appears in monochrome. But since posting this morning, the more I've thought about it (despite my misgivings about the cloudless blue sky), I think it only fair you get the opportunity to see the colour version of this wonderful property.
The Blackwoods have done such a lovely job in ensuring the house is painted in the colour scheme popular at the time (creams with brown tiles and green highlights) that you should get to see it too.
Mallory-Neely House
Victorian Village
Memphis, TN
05-30-25
I was a little surprised to see a street of Victorian homes in Memphis. I guess I was expecting all Greek Revival with doric columns and wide front porches.
There were a lot of "Plantation style" homes. (the word "plantation" has been cancelled in the south, I found when visiting the Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville a few days later which is now called the Belle Meade Historic Site.) But on a couple of blocks along Adams Ave. only a few blocks from the hotel where I stayed on Union Street, there were about a dozen restored Victorian mansions, including this one, possibly the largest, the Mallory-Neely House, constructed in 1852.
Hard to resist not to try it again while I'm there. The famous central hall of the London Natural History Museum.

Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge spanning the Avon gorge and river Avon in Bristol. Being more than 150 years old, it still has that WOW factor and people from everywhere come to see this marvel of Victorian engineering.
The late winter sun illuminates the front face of the Albert Hall in Launceston. This magnificent public building was completed for the Tasmanian Industrial Exhibition that ran from 25 November 1891 to 22 March 1892.
St Thomas More RC Church is one of the more interesting buildings in Bradford-on-Avon. Originally built in 1854 as a speculative attempt to get the Town Council to buy it as a town hall; then bought by a bank but leased to the Church; then bought by the Church but ground floor leased to a bank.
A very stylish line of Victorian houses.

"Cumnock" is a grand Victorian Italianate mansion designed by Melbourne architect Charles Webb (1821 - 1898), located on The Avenue in the Melbourne suburb of Parkville.
"Cumnock" is a splendid exmple of the fine domestic architecture available to those who were either wealthy by birth, or had made it rich during the boom period of Victoria's Gold Rush, when Melbourne was the weathiest city in the world.
Completed in 1889 for George Howat, the 26 room, 6 bedroom mansion remained with his family until it was purchased by Ridley College (a theological school) in 1919 after his death. It remained in the hands of the college, and was well maintained with beautiful gardens about it. Then in June 2007, Ridley College sold it to developers Drapac.
At the time of photographing, the gardens of "Cumnock" were in a sad state of affairs as workmen commenced subdividing the interior to make several prestige townhouses.
As a tall block of modern apartments which are not at all in keeping with the mansion are being constructed behind "Cumnock" as part of the subdivision and development of the estate, I thought it best to photograph it in its current state, before a tower of glass and balconies blocks out the blue sky behind this Grande Dame of Marvellous Melbourne!
Charles Webb also designed Melbourne's Grand Hotel (now known as the Windsor Hotel), the Royal Arcade in Bourke Street, "Charsfield" on St Kilda Road, "Mandeville Hall" in Toorak and the Melbourne Church of England Grammar School amongst other buildings.

Victorian architecture is the prevailing style of Mackinac Island. Original buildings were built during the Victorian age, and new buildings have followed suit. The result is a place that truly appears to be frozen in time. It was a terrific place to spend part of Memorial Day Weekend. It was so quiet and peaceful with no motorized vehicles on the island.
In the heart of Bath’s shopping district, three buildings show off construction and architecture from after Bath’s Georgian heyday, and how it’s possible to have development while preserving townscape character.
On the left, part of 1 Upper Borough Walls is visible. This was built as a shop with accommodation in around 1810, but was repaired in around 1983 with a modern shopfront added in 1988 by Alec French and Partners.
In the centre is the 1927 central post office for the city, a typical piece of interwar government architecture by HM Office of Works.
To the right is St Michael’s Church, a Victorian structure on a site used for Christian worship since medieval times. It was built in 1835-7 to a design by G P Manners with its tall and narrow ‘W’ tower. It is Grade II* listed.
Even the 1989 Podium Shopping Centre, containing Waitrose, on the far right, has made some attempt to preserve Bath’s characteristic style of stone and rooflines.
Bath is the largest city in the ceremonial county of Somerset. With a history going back to Roman times, when it first became a centre for bathing, much of its famed architecture dates from the Georgian era, when it became a fashionable place for wealthy Londoners to take the waters, connected by the ever faster stagecoach network.
Many of the streets and squares were laid out by John Wood, the Elder. Jane Austen lived in Bath in the early 19th century. Further building was undertaken in the 19th century and following the Baedecker Blitz of 1942.

A stroll through Botanic Gardens on a cold December day. The Kibble Palace, a Victorian greenhouse, catches the weak winter sunshine.
The Temperate House at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, south-west London, UK.
In this image, I chose to focus on the architectural detail and decorative motifs such as the finials, pediments and acanthus leaf capitals.
This is a Victorian building, begun in 1860, in the Renaissance Revival style. Decimus Burton and Irish engineer, Richard Turner, were the designers.
I've visited these gardens so many times over the years, truly a favourite place to pass a day.
A World Heritage Site, Kew houses the largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world as well as the thousands of living specimens one can enjoy throughout the park.

Photographed on my vacation to San Francisco in 2015. This is one of the most photographed areas in San Francisco, and it was a bit overcast when I arrived at Alamo Square. Dozens of people were at the square, and it was difficult to try and get photos without any people in them.
I got a few shots under this tree, with the leaves framing the buildings, and thought about digitally editing the guy with the baby carriage and the others out of the shot, but on this one, decided to let them stay.
I photographed this before I got into HDR, so there is only one exposure, but I did run it through Photomatix to bring out color and detail.
Edit: Explored at 299 when I woke up this morning. 08-07-17. Thanks to all.

Dating from the mid-1800s, and possibly by the same architect as the nearby church, this building is the former village school with a house attached - presumably for the schoolmaster. Now the Grade II-listed building is just the one residence. The village of Orlingbury lies between Wellingborough and Kettering in the north-east of Northamptonshire, a couple of miles from where I live.
