My favorite style of architecture is Georgian Architecture. The Georgian era of Great Britain began in 1714 and ended in 1837. During this time period, Kings George I, II, III, IV and William IV ruled. After the death of William IV in 1837, the Queen Victoria's coronation marked the start of the Victorian era. Essentially, Georgian architecture is an 18th century english style. Some of the key components of Georgian architecture are: - Symmetry - Proportion and Balance - Bold Moulding and Millwork - Brick or Stone Facade - Elements of Palladian, Roman, and Greek Architecture - Circular (one-centered) and Elliptical (3-centered) Arches Some embellishments that you might find in Georgian-style houses and buildings are: - Herringbone Pattern Wood Floors - Large Combination Crown Moulding - Dentils in the Crown Moulding - Egg and Dart Moulding and Motifs - Reed and Ribbon Moulding and Motifs - Ribbon and Bow Moulding and Motifs - Large or Small Pediments (mostly pointed and circular pediments) - Fluted Columns - Brass/Gold Hardware (Lighting Fixtures, Picture Frames, etc...) I've included some of the many pictures I have of examples of Georgian architecture that have inspired me. These first 2 pictures are taken of a country club designed by Mark P. Finlay (markfinlay.com). This shows and example of Neo-Georgian (Georgian Revival) architecture. Since authentic Georgian buildings are over 200 years old, their beauty may be concealed by their age. Neo-georgian architecture takes the classic elements of Georgian architecture and modernizes it. Notice the pediment headings above the door casings and the elliptical arch. Lanterns and wall sconces are popular lighting fixtures in Georgian homes and buildings. A large Georgian house. Notice the lantern, chandelier, wall sconce, dentils in the crown moulding, as well as the large pilasters and pediment. This pediment is known as an Open Pointed Pediment. Beautiful library. Notice the dentils in the crown moulding. Beautiful house in New Canaan, CT. Notice the stone exterior, symmetry of the design, shutters, and the beautiful pediment. This pediment is called a Broken Curved Pediment. (Mark Finlay) Notice the dentils in the crown moulding, the Broken Pointed Pediment, mahogany double doors, brass and crystal empire chandelier, brass and crystal wall sconces, brass mirror, and the chinoiserie wall paper. Chinoiserie is a Chinese-inspired design motif that is sometimes featured in Georgian houses. It's a very whimsical, asymmetrical, colorful style. As you can see here, it adds a unique quality to the room and is also quite bright. Diagram depicting characteristics of a Georgian home. Beautiful dark green dining room. Beautiful Georgian exterior. Notice the dormer windows, dentil crown moulding, Palladian window, symmetrical design, elliptical arch over door, portico, and columns.

Collage of Georgian door fronts on the streets of Upper Merrion and Lower Baggot in Dublin, Ireland. The Georgian style, especially around St. Steven's Green and Merrion Squares, is a dominate architecture feature of Dublin. The style was introduced during the 18th century as the city attracted new wealth and the British relaxed anti-catholic penal laws, allowing many middle-class Catholics to establish and own businesses. Many of the doors are painted in bright colors to set themselves apart from their neighbors. Other features of the door fronts may include ornate knockers, elegant fanlights, intricate mill and stone work, and wrought iron boot scrapers. It has been said that no two doors are alike.
