victorian floor

Search the forum,
Folk Victorian is an architectural style employed for some homes in the United States between 1870 and 1910, though isolated examples continued to be built well into the 1930s. Folk Victorian homes are relatively plain in their construction but embellished with decorative trim. Folk Victorian is a subset of Victorian architecture. It differentiates itself from other subsets of Victorian architecture (such as Queen Anne) by being less elaborate and having more regular floor plans. Examples include the Bacon Hotel, Albert Spencer Wilcox Beach House, Lost Creek Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Depot (1892), James B. Carden House (1885), Ephriam M. Baynard House, and Sibley's General Store (1899) in the Sibley's and James Store Historic District.

    How much should I expect to pay to retile front path in black/white victorian style?

    We have been quoted around £**. This seems high to me, and I would appreciate any guidance. The front path needs replacing, as the quarry tiles that are currently in place are all cracked and many are missing. I live in North London, and any advice would be really welcome! Kirsty
