Brent Hull tours a 1890s Queen Anne home in Fort Worth’s historic Quality Hill, exploring how Victorian architecture reflects the rapid industrialization of the era. He examines the home’s elaborate ornamentation, classical details, sandstone, copper, millwork, hardwoods, coffered ceilings, wood flooring, and catalog-built architectural elements. Inside, Hull highlights how new manufacturing technologies made elaborate materials and craftsmanship more accessible, while details such as gas lighting, built-ins, servant spaces, and abundant windows reveal how people lived at the time. He also discusses historic preservation and the ongoing maintenance required to keep these homes intact.
