46. Victorian Style

I used to scoff and say that there was no such thing as a 'Victorian Style'. Although the term was in common usage, I found that it was normally used by people who did not know the proper name for an old house and called it 'Victorian' as a catch-all. They were pretty safe doing this since Queen Victoria ruled for 64 tumultuous years (1837 - 1901).

Since then I have encountered a small number of spectacular buildings that are clearly of that era, but equally clearly do not belong to any of the identified styles.
The Hochelaga Hotel in Kingston is the best example that I have found, so...I have now swallowed my pride...and identified the building as belonging to the 'Victorian Style'.
