GEORGIAN HOUSES
NOTED FOR ORDER
Architect Declares Colonial
Style Comes Nearest :
Being National"

The distinguishing characteristic of
house of Georgian style is the sense
OF order and proportion, Waverly Tay-
Tor, member of the American Institute
OF Architects, said to the sales man.
ayers division of the Washington Real
Estate Board recently in discussing the
origin of the Colonial style, which, he
pointed out, was based on the English
Georgian" mode.
The Colonial period in American
architecture" he said. has been called
the carpenters Interpretation of the
Renaissance
THE Georgian houses were rectangu-
lar In plan, Of facadeS of red brick
with white stone trimmings, although
sometimes the outside brick walls were
covered with cement plaster. The shut
tiers usually were painted white. The
distinguishing trait of Georgian
house Is the sense of order and pro-
portion; nothing has been left to
chance; all has been considered, even
to the minutest detail. 1t Is for the
most part formal in type, though not
always in the disposition and treat
ment of the various parts.
'Segmental bow windows were char
acteristic of the earlier types. The eff
feet is largely due to the proportion Of

careful disposition. They seem to
cluster around the entrance door. In
quiet restraint and dignity of setting,
Georgian houses express a high form
of civilization. There Is a beautiful
propriety about them which, with their
air of distinction, reveal them to be the
residences Of well bred and cultured
people.
But from the very beginning, the
American colonists made important
notifications in this style. In England,
the buildings we're mostly Of brick and
stone, few of wood, but in America
good building stone was scarce and
brick was even scarcer, so that the
Colonial builders were forced to fall
back upon the one material they had
abundantly-wood.
THE massive proportions suitable to
brick and stone did not harmonic with
the lighter material and 1t became the
custom for an American builder to at
tenuate the classical orders, making
columns and pilasters much higher in
proportion to their diameter. The re-
suit was that formal and stately design
we call Colonial The plant nature of
wood gave to the Renaissance details a
greater delicacy than could be obtained
in stone, and 1t enabled the Colonial
builder to secure warmth and cheer
fulness denied to the colder and gloom
Ter stone. The use of wood also per-
mitted the ready establishment of the
houses with numerous decorative fea-
lures, Of which the Colonial porch with
its triangular hood is typical. but the
ornamental details in a Colonial home
were carefully worked out and were al
ways moderate and correct.
1.-THE Colonial is the one type Of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-05

building in our history which comes
close to being national style. 1t was
used in the colonies for over a century
and during that time 1t prevailed abb
solutely. We can, however, recognize
three distinct types of Colonial archi-
lecture. These are the Colonial OF New
England, the Dutch Colonial around
New York and New Jersey, and the
Colonial of the Southern Colonies"
1.-THE first architecture in America
was of the cruoest. simplest form. The
early colonists were too busy Tor many
years adjusting themselves to the primt-
tive Conditions about them to give much
time to any extended architecture.
Dwelling houses, school houses, churches
and stores were built of rough logs, the
cllinks between them being filled In with
mud or clay. We Americans are proud
of our first log cabins, and Justly so.
They stand for a record of achievement
against terrifying odds.
p Classical Form.
Gradually the English settlers intro
duced the classical form Of the English
Renaissance architects. This marked
the beginning of the Colonial period as
we know it. The Colonial style was
based originally upon the English
Georgian, being the style then prevail
ing in England.
"During the early years of the
nineteenth century. the Greek move
ment, which pervaded France and
England, also swept through the United
States. Greek columns were initiated
in wood or stone and set up in fro2t
of public buildings and private houses
a phase from which we have. not yet
recovered. Carpenters applied Greek
designs to mantelpieces, doorwayS anc
window frames. Thomas Jefferson
whom we generally think of as a states
man rather than an architect, was the
most distinguished disciple of the Greek
revival He exerted all his influence tc
see that the Capitol and the White
House were built according to correct
classical traditions.
Our American architecture is really
a mixture of all styles, with no one
particular type predominating. There
are, however. three ruling styles which
may be traced in most of Our finest
buildings. These are the classical Greek
the Renaissance and the Gothic. How
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-05

ever, the Romanesque revival must also
be considered The classical Greek and
Renaissance styles prevail in our public
buildings. Banks seem to have an
especial fondness for the Greek style.
The Gothic style seems to have become
the conventionalized type for church
architecture, and as such is widely used.
Today, we are in transitional period,
period In which new methods of con-
struction are being harmonized with old
conventions Of architecture.
THE matter Of architectural styles Is
very puzzling one to the student of
domestic architecture. Practically no
residence is a perfect reproduction of
any historical style; In fact, we can
name the style of but few houses. We
can, however, trace the influence of the
various historical styles upon modern
architecture, and in this sense the
terms. Colonial, Dutch Colonial, English,
French, Spanish, Italian and Mission,
still have significance"
