6 Classic Georgian Homes from the AD Archives
Georgian architecture is largely defined by its sleek symmetry and minimal ornamentalism. Originating in the early 18th century, the style incorporates classic Greek and Roman design elements into smaller residential spaces. Brick or stone is the material of choice for exteriors, occasionally covered with stucco, with an equal amount of windows and columns on either side. Plenty of Georgian buildings have survived in Europe, particularly in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, but the elegantly understated style was also widely used across the U.S. We’ve looked into the AD archives for some of our favorite classic structures, from an 18th-century home in Washington, D.C., to an authentic English country home. Step back in time with these six Georgian gems.
