The Edwardian Era lasted a scant 14 years, yet it represented something of a revolution in architectural change that produced signature features like lower ceilings, more ornamentation, leaded glass doors plus a preponderance of red brick. All of this identified the U.K. architectural metamorphosis that came to dominate new construction between the years 1900 to 1914.

What drove the Edwardian housing boom? Increased population and economic upturns plus affordable mortgages for a growing middle class. New railway lines sent families to the suburbs where affordable property promoted home ownership. Edwardian dwellings weren’t as stately or lavish as were the Victorians, so builders required fewer raw materials. Cellars and second floors disappeared in a flourish of social change as house staff disappeared or diminished in number. To compensate for scale, Edwardian homes became centrepieces for flamboyant external facade trim and lavish gardens edged with porches, verandas and balconies.
