Basically, Europeans were sick of the Baroque and Rococo, and wanted to return to more classical forms. The style is just as you described it, with a temple-like front and symmetrical bays on either side. The side "wings" were actually very common; one would be used as a kitchen and the other a stable.<BR/Lauren Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07228443867886157580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422669494853882483.post-7643035381985092432008-01-26T19:35:00.000-05:002008-01-26T19:35:00.000-05:00We live in a 1791 Georgian colonial and we love it...We live in a 1791 Georgian colonial and we love it.

Georgian, the period, coorelates to the reign of King George III in England and, at that time, King Louis 16th in France. I think what I love about Georgian architecture the most is the pure symmetry. Everything is in it's place - nice and tidy!
