What is "Georgian architecture"?
Georgian architecture is a style of building design that was popular in the 18th and early 19th centuries, during the reigns of the British kings named George. This style is known for its focus on symmetry, proportion, and balance. Georgian buildings often have a formal appearance, with evenly spaced windows, classical columns, and decorative moldings. Brick or stone is typically used, with simple but elegant details like large windows that slide up and down, and paneled doors. Georgian architecture aims to create a sense of order and refinement in both residential and public buildings.
