It seem to me a little odd that an American author writing about a district of New York would refer to its period as "Victorian".

My formative years were Eisenhowerian, however.

McTag, If the houses were constructed during the Victorian era, why would it be odd to refer to the period as Victorian? Or am I misunderstanding your comment?

Possibly you are. I was referring to the apparent readiness of Americans to measure time by British monarchs.
Didn't we cut you adrift in 1776, to try to manage on your own?

We wuz cut adrift, but we don't got no culture of our own. What's a matter with a little borrowing? Some people is mighty critical of a young and inexperienced country.

McTag - you as an educated man really should know better. At least some of us colonials can actually tell the difference between 1776 and 1783, fr'instance Smile

Quote:
...........1783 Treaty of Paris. Under the terms of the treaty, which ended the War of the American Revolution, Great Britain officially acknowledged the United States as a sovereign and independent nation.

Jeez.


Someone this end of the world named a whole state after that Victor/Victoria monarch.

Mind you - it's only Victoria - home to MsOlga and dadpad!
