Question by ??????? ? JON ? ???????: Could I build a brand new Second Empire or Victorian style house? The thing is, I really want a Victorian or Second Empire style house, but they’re so hard to find! And usually, for some reason, they’re abandoned or badly neglected. Are there companies that could build a new one for me? And would it cost a lot more than building a modern-style house?

Question by helprhome: What is your opinion of Victorian style houses? Is this a house that most people think is neat or is it too old fashioned? There is one right down the street and it hasn’t sold yet. I’m thinking about why or why not. Not my listing, yet!!!

If you remember the old TV program “Charmed”, it would remind you of that house. Thanks for your thoughts on this one! Best answer: Answer by ThatGuy!I love Victorian style houses. Is the one you’re looking at original? Old unique homes will hold thier value better than most if they are well maintained. You...

Best answer: Answer by sunshinegirlI agree with you completely they are just beyond words-wish I could afford one. What do you think? Answer below! Request! A very simple Victorian style pompadour and a few options for wearing it. You’ll need: bobby pins (not hair pins!) a brush or comb something to part your hair It has been brought to my attention that applying cornstarch to your roots can help provide volume to your pompadour.
