Georgian Architecture was an 18th century movement characterized by proportion and balance, commonly rendered in ashlar stone and slate. It is the English interpretation of formal classical architecture, informed by direct study by its adherents of the works of Italian Renaissance masters such as Andrea Palladio. The style was widely disseminated to English colonies, but interpreted in common brick with stone accents and white clapboard. Pattern books were instrumental in its popularity.
