Georgian homes
Brick, balanced, formal
Georgian homes are houses built in the architectural style popular during the reigns of Britain's King Georges (roughly 1714–1830).
The style emphasizes symmetry, proportion, and classical details: rectangular facades, evenly spaced windows, decorative cornices, and centered doorways with columns or pediments.
The historic district is lined with Georgian homes.
In American contexts, the style flourished in colonial cities like Philadelphia and Boston.
