"When
viewing
the
architecture
of the
period
the term
that can
best
describe
the age
is
"eclecticism",
the
liberty
to
choose
from
many
styles.
As a
result
of this
eclecticism,
styles
came and
went
overlapping
and
flowing
one into
another
during
the
period
we call
the
Victorian
Age."

"The
architect's
profession
is that
of
building,
and he
not only
builds
structures
of
practical
use, but
he
attempts
also to
produce
buildings
of
artistic
appearance,
which
add to
the
general
beauty
of their
surroundings.
The
architect
thus has
a great
responsibility,
for not
only
does he,
by his
work,
express
the
ideals
of
beauty
and
comfort
of his
time,
but he
also has
a
wonderful
opportunity
to guide
the
taste of
the
public
along
the
lines of
good
design
and
artistic
expression." |
