 A Victorian Update
Victorian homes exude self-confidence. Like prima donnas on the opera
stage, they fill a street with character. It's easy to succumb to their charms. As
familiar as a grandmother, as fragile as an aging screen star, we cherish them and
hope they’ll live forever.
That’s why fans of Victoriana brace themselves for steep prices and lengthy
makeovers, as one family did when they took on an 1890 Shingle-style home in the
foothills of Colorado. "This was a well-loved and beautiful home,"
says the owner, "We didn’t want to disturb those original feelings. The
people previous had been here for 40 years. There was an aura here we didn’t
want to lose."
