Georgian style was the style of the 18th century. The style was developed in England out of the Classical Revival. The name came from the one who ruled England at the time, King George 1, 2, and 3. Georgian homes build in England would have grand steps and large columns at the entrance, but in America the columns were attached to the house itself. Some Architects that use this style include Robert Adam, John James, and Christopher Wren.
