Design of the Period House - 1800-1829

The three decades between 1800 and 1829 was the last period of Georgian style which covers the years between 1714 and 1830, in other words the reigns of Kings George I, II, III and IV.

Typical features of houses in this period are:

• window openings are plain, with double-hung sash windows
• door cases have a fanlight
• the roof is hidden behind a parapet
• doors and windows have entablatures, pediments, consoles and either pilasters or columns
• the ground floor is stucco-faced
