Ah, Victorian. I once lived in a little town to the south of here that boasts a huge number of houses built during Victoria's reign. 186, which doesn't sound like a lot, but there are only 17,000 people living there. The "town sport" is renovating these, and some real "gingerbread carpentry" do some of them have. Two of my friends lived in one, and they were so "period" that they wouldn't install central heat or air. I recall the man answering the door in December in a coat and hat.
