Summary: One of the earliest attempts to create a new, self-consciously 'modern' style, High Victorian Gothic has left us a man-ifold legacy. It was a style characterized by eclectic source, varied materials, a strong ethical flavor, and a vocabulary that mixed the medieval with the machine age. As Such, it was an important architectural attempt to deal expressively with slums by contrasting machine-like splendor with existing squalor.
