Georgian Revival

1901 Georgian Revival in Old Louisville, Kentucky.

Georgian Revival: One of the most common Colonial Revival subtypes is the Georgian Revival. The Georgian style was originally popular in the 18th century and was used frequently in early New England settlements. In Vermont, the Georgian Revival emerged in the early 1900s and remained popular into the 1950s. The structures evolved significantly from the elaborate, detailed façades of the 1900s and 1910s to the modest, simplified houses that were built for new, large-scale residential developments from the 1920s to the 1950s.

Although the Georgian Revival structures employed many of the details of their earlier Colonial predecessors, they did not closely follow the rules of Georgian architecture. Classical details were either over-exaggerated or updated for the 20th century, and the strict Georgian symmetry and order was usually broken. Georgian architecture usually always consisted of a two-story façade with five window and door openings on both the first and second stories of the main façade. The house in the image below breaks that order by placing only three windows on the second story.
