What I love about Victorian architecture -- aside from the sturdiness of its fundamentals, as has been mentioned -- is its gorgeous use of wrought iron/steel and of glass. In particular, I love Victorian train stations, which have never been bettered.
In general, I think, Victorian public buildings were well-designed, whereas the interiors of their homes were ghastly.
