Victoria, Historic house in Charlotte, US

Victoria is a residence in Charlotte built in the Queen Anne style with ornate roof details, varied rooflines, and an asymmetrical facade. The structure displays typical late 19th-century residential features including decorative trim on windows, doors, and overhanging eaves.

The house dates to the late 19th century, a period when Charlotte was experiencing residential growth and architectural development. Its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places marks it as part of the documented architectural heritage of the city.

The house is a Queen Anne-style dwelling, a mode of residential building that took its name from the British queen and became common in American towns in the 1880s and 1890s. Its 2+1⁄2-story engaged corner tower with a conical roof is the element a passerby notices first.

The building sits in a residential neighborhood and can be viewed from the street to observe its 19th-century architectural details. It is easily accessible on foot and the facade is clearly visible from the sidewalk.

Victoria was moved from the corner of Tryon and Seventh Streets to its present site at 1600 The Plaza around 1895, the same year it was built. The relocation kept the two-story frame dwelling and its engaged tower intact on a new lot.
