Georgian Architecture - Remodeling & Renovations
The Georgian Style is a name that was given to a broad spectrum of architectural styles that were typical of English-speaking areas anywhere between the 1720's and 1840's. While there are many different subcategories within this broad span of time, the nomenclature was given for one main reason. Just like many other things during this time period, tribute was paid to the monarchs of England; the kings George the first through George the fourth, who reigned, not coincidentally, during the same time period of the architectural style.
While many of the subcategories have their own characteristic design elements and style, many of the examples of Georgian architecture have a handful of their own features that remain consistent throughout the time period. These include, but are not limited to the following:
- 1 or 2 story box style homes arranged symmetrically
- Panel, centered front door topped with an elaborate entablature
- Decoratively embellished cornice
- A chimney on each side of the home
- A portico in the middle of the roof
This style is found in nearly every town or city in the original thirteen colonies of the United States, and many southern states. Many plantation homes as well as universities were built in the Georgian style, or in the Gothic subculture. Brown University, Samford University and College of William and Mary are all perfect examples of this style, and some people say that the inspiration for Margaret Mitchell's Tara was also an example of the style.
Just like with many other things associated with the English monarchy during this time period the Georgian architectural style lost popularity with the colonists shortly after the revolution. The result was yet another category of architecture, dubbed the Neo-Georgian style.
The revived Georgian style that emerged in Britain at the beginning of the 20th century is usually referred to as Neo-Georgian; the work of Edwin Lutyens includes many examples. Versions of the Neo-Georgian style were commonly used in Britain for certain types of urban architecture until the late 1950s, Bradshaw Gass & Hope's Police Headquarters in Salford of 1958 being a good example. In both the United States and Britain, the Georgian style is still employed by architects like Quinlan Terry Julian Bicknell and Fairfax and Sammons for private residences.
