Please help me with this one problem |
|
When comparing a Victorian-style house to a woman, what compares to the woman pulling back her shoulders and sticking out her chin--that sort of thing? Eaves? Turrets? I know so little about architecture. . .

1. Dunno, but the fully restored ones |
|
especially in the Queen Anne style, are commonly called "painted ladies."

It really is, since that's what I'm trying to say. Thanks for responding, Warpy. Maybe we'll get an architect to help out.

3. Are gargoiles (sp) Victorian? Probably not, they do jut out - but |
|
you could probably only use it if you were describing a witch woman

The house isn't evil, just seductive.
