Georgian architecture is the name given in most English-speaking countries to the set of architectural styles current between 1720 and 1830. It is eponymous for the first four British monarchs of the House of Hanover—George I, George II, George III, and George IV—who reigned in continuous succession from August 1714 to June 1830. The style was revived in the late 19th century in the United States as Colonial Revival architecture and in the early 20th century in Great Britain as Neo-Georgian architecture.
Georgian succeeded the English Baroque of Sir Christopher Wren, Sir John Vanbrugh, Thomas Archer, William Talman, and Nicholas Hawksmoor. The architect James Gibbs was a transitional figure, many of his buildings having a hint of Baroque, reflecting the time he spent in Rome in the early 18th century. Major architects to promote the change in direction from baroque were Colen Campbell, author of the influential book Vitruvius Britannicus; Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington and his protégé William Kent; Isaac Ware; Henry Flitcroft and the Venetian Giacomo Leoni, who spent most of his career in England. Other prominent architects of the early Georgian period include James Paine, Robert Taylor, and John Wood, the Elder.

This month we are going to explore all the various house styles throughout the United States. Each day we will go over the key features and elements that make that style unique. How the style might transition from one to another, since a house design is rarely pure to one particular style.

**DEMOLISHED** Known as a century farm, according to my research, the elderly man that lived here died at a ripe old age of 100 years of age on February 26, 2007. Apparently, he did not leave behind a wife. During my exploration, I noticed a lack of female items so I suspect he lived here alone and hoarded a lot of older newspapers and magazines dating back from the 1960s. There used to be an old shed out back that was once used as a church in 1856 until 1884 until the new church was built. The owner of this farm's great grandfather had donated the use of the land for it. I also noticed on the satellite view of this property that there once was a barn or other structure out back that was collapsed. The latest date I could find was on a phone book from 2002-2003, although there may ha...

According to historical records this house was built in 1860 and is a Georgian design. And the record notes the brickwork being called DICHROMATIC. On this very cold and snowy day a few weeks back I visited this house. Thank you to licksnkicks for suggesting this house :-) After finding my only access point through the cellar, I reminded myself I don't like "basement only access" why you ask - Well if the pits of hell and brimstone open up on the upper floor, or I run into a rabid racoon, I have to make it all the way back to the basement to get out. Its an eerie feeling. The exterior of this house was in perfect shape, but I can not say the same for the inside. It was pretty rough and appeared to be a bit of a dumping ground. The upper floor was tight with a right angle hallway ...
