G. E. Street (1824–81) was an English architect and architectural writer, whose designs were mainly in High Victorian Gothic style.
Born the son of a solicitor, he first worked in a law office, but was then articled to the architect Owen Carter in Winchester.
This style came chronologically after the use of "pure" and "correct" use of features of English Gothic architecture, which had been championed by A. W. N. Pugin and the Ecclesiological Society.
High Victorian incorporated the use of polychromy, and elements of Continental forms of Gothic architecture.
[1] He stated that the main aim of his restorations was to create churches that encouraged "the hearty, loyal and reverent setting forth of the Prayer Book" rather than to preserve historic forms or to adopt architecturally correct designs.
