Madison, IN.  This is a "British Georgian" because of the hipped roof.

Somers, CT.  An "American Georgian" because of the Americanized gable roof.

Near State College, PA.  In Nittany Valley.  Fieldstone Georgian farm house, probably built around 1800.

Scantic, CT.  Georgian House with a New England "connecting barn".  Probably built middle to late 1700s.

Bellefonte, PA.  Full Georgian houses placed side by side in an urban setting. Built around 1810.

Bellefonte, PA.  Pennsylvanians continued building Georgian buildings until the 1850s.  Here are some later "Pennsylvania Georgians," with their characteristic Georgian massing, wood-frame porches and construction, and little if any ornamentation.  Notice how topography -- the hill slope -- was virtually ignored by early town planners, as the ubiquitous grid plan was slapped down on the hillsides as well.

Boston, MA.  Christ Church (Old North Church), built 1723.  This church represents the first of the two phases of the Georgian period in Colonial America, which lasted from roughly 1700-1750.  During this first phase, Georgian styles were influenced heavily by the work of Sir Christopher Wren.  Wren redesigned many of the English churches in the Georgian style (they look much like this one) after the great London fire.  Note the narrow, irregular street patterns, also a distinctly English tradition brough to America.

Lewistown, PA.  Georgian rowhouses, or "half-Georgians," especially the three on the right.  A firewall with end chimneys is also visible here (center-right). These can be dated back before the Civil War -- probably the 1830s or 1840s, because they were still being built flush with the street.  After the Civil War, Pennsylvanians began building their houses set back from the street.

Madison, IN.  Madison's original Main Street, oriented to the Ohio River (outside of photo on the right).  Georgian row houses were used as America's first commercial buildings, where small stores and shops were housed.  Apartments above usually housed the shop-owners and their families.  These were built around the 1830s during Madison's earliest years of settlement along the Ohio River.

West Baltimore, MD.  (Photo by Dr. Stan Swartz).  Neo-Georgian Townhouses, this time constructed with modern building materials in a 1980s curvilinear subdivision.  The Georgian style still survives as a popular style for more modern homes, representing the siginificant impact of cultural heritage and historical architectural trends on today's built environment.
