Georgian Style describes a style of architecture of the 18th century, starting about 1711 when King George I ascended the throne until the American Revolution. This was the first real architectural style to appear in provincial America, and was fairly similar from Maine into the southern states.



The characteristics of this style include classical mouldings (inside and out), symmetrical facades, window caps and more elaborate doorways.  Most of the Georgian hourses are 2-1/2 stories with five individual windows across the front, and two windows deep on the sides. The roof can be a gable or a hip-style.

Many examples of Georgian-style architecture can be found in New Hampshire and elsewhere, including:
