A saw a post that was specifically comparing Victorian mansions with new glass-and-concrete ones and it's like the worst possible comparison for this. Victorian houses were so badly built that the "falling apart/haunted Victorian mansion" became a trope in literature like 30 years after their heyday

Talk to literally one person who has bought a Victorian home about it! They are notorious money pits and usually being held together with duct tape

Victorians were the first McMansions. Mass production of what was once difficult to produce material meant people could feel super rich owning one. In 100 years, they’ll be saying the same things about a 2005 Lennar in the exurbs.

I live in a Victorian farmhouse. It's very solidly built out of stone and survived being left abandoned, derelict and flood-damaged for a year without issue, but on the other hand none of the walls are actually parallel to each other.
