Georgian buildings

Symmetrical brick townhouses

Georgian buildings are structures built in Britain and its colonies during the reigns of the four King Georges, roughly 1714 to 1830.

The style is characterized by symmetry, proportion, and classical elements like columns, sash windows, and decorative doorways with fanlights.

Georgian architecture emphasizes order and balance, with brick facades, uniform window placement, and restrained ornamentation.

The row of Georgian buildings along the square has been beautifully preserved.

The term often implies elegance and historical value in real estate contexts.
