Georgian house
Symmetrical brick residence
A Georgian house is a residence built in the architectural style prevalent in Britain and its colonies during the reigns of the four King Georges (1714–1830).
The style emphasizes symmetry, proportion, and classical elements: sash windows arranged in balanced rows, rectangular facades, columned doorways, and restrained ornamentation.
The neighborhood is lined with elegant Georgian houses.
In American real estate, the term often applies to any brick colonial with these proportions, even modern reproductions.
