The Georgian style house is a house that copies many of the details of Georgian architecture, which was popular from 1720 to about 1840. The style is named after the four Hanoverian kings named George, who reigned in succession in England from August 1714 to June 1830. Georgian architecture was a reaction again the highly ornamented Baroque style that preceded it. The style reached back to the classical era of Greece and Rome, especially as interpreted by Renaissance architects and artists. Symmetry was an essential component of Georgian style houses.
