"First, look if the roof rises in a steep gable, high above the wall..."
"Second, look if the principal windows and doors have pointed arches
with gables over them." by John Ruskin (1853)
According to John Ruskin's "The Nature of Gothic," there are six
features in the Victorian architecture. They are:
            1. Savageness or Rudeness
            2. Love of Change
            3. Love of Nature
            4. Disturbed Imagination
            5. Obstinacy or Rigidity
            6. Generosity
 
"the withdrawal of any one, or any two, will not at once destroy the
Gothic character of a building, but he removal of a majority of
them will" by John Ruskin (1853)
Even though you can not find all six features of Gothic in the
Littlefield Home, you can still identify some of the six features in it.


Love of Change;
 
 
If you look at the top of the Littlefield Home, you will see two different shapes of towers.  They shouldn't be the same shape because of "Love of Change"
 
Love of Nature;
 
 
The Littlefield Home 
shows many vegetative figures. 
"Love of Nature"
 
Disturbed Imagination;
Look at this window of the Littlefield Home. The tendency to delight in fantastic.
"Disturbed Imagination"
 
Generosity;
 
The fullness and wealth of the material universe
                        "Generosity"
