The most common type of Colonial style is Georgian Colonial. Preceeding the Federal Colonial style, Georgian Colonial is much simpler in architecture. Like all Colonial styles, Georgian focuses on strict symmetry. It is typically a box shape and is adorned with windows, which are typically five across and shutters.
Georgian architecture was the style of the 18th century, especially from the reign of King George I who ascended the throne in 1711, until the American Revolution (King George III). Building during this period closely adheres to English precedents, which were made accessible through printed books on architecture.
