Although there is a tomblike GOODNESS
and dignity about the original Georgian
houses, there Is an air of charm and
comfort about the modern American
Georgian house. 1t retains the classic
lines OF the English house. but adapts
them to American ideas OF comfort
The first American Georgian houses
were built in Pennsylvania toward the
close of the Colonial period. Indeed. the
majority OF Pennsylvania's so-called
Colonial houses with the exception of
her Dutch houses, are not Colonial at
allf but belong to the Georgian type OF
architecture. Like the modern houses
they were built OF brick rather than
stone.
Unlike other English houses the
Georgian house may be n town house,
it may be adapted to the suburbs, or It
may be a country residence. A particu-
larly good example of the Georgian
house in the country is the home o.

Colt Albro. 1t IS OF brick. with the de-
tails which would have been OF stone

of this house is its side porch. Mr.. Albro

houses there was continuous front, or
namented by columns, much like a South

1t was during the Georgian period that
the brothers Adam worked. Their par
ticular gifts of design showed to best
advantage in doorways, windows. balus-
trades. fanlights and panels. which did
much to humanize the square stone
houses of the period.
Chimneys did not have the same i'm
portance in the Georgian period that
they had In earlier epochs of English
architecture. Chimney stacks had COM
rnenced to degenerate into mere oblong
masses with the ecantiest of caps.
Sundials attained a position of i'm
portance during the period. THE Art
Of DAZZLING" was. recognized as branch
OF polite learning.
Although in the later Georgian period
