"Victorian" is a generalized term, usually used for all things late 19th  
century.
 
But Vicki was queen of England...albeit a rather expansive England. But  
still English.
 
The houses most Americans think of as Victorian are also known as Gothic  
Revival or Gingerbread Gothic. But there's also Antebellum [another  
generalized 
term] and Italianate Revival and a whole host of other styles  that are 
"Victorian" [her rein does start in the 1830's y'know] but are not  generally 
thought of that way.
 
It's the same kinda problem you have with generalized costume period  labels.
