Georgian buildings are symmetrical boxes, usually two stories high and two rooms deep. The main entrance is often a projecting pavilion with pilasters, a paneled door, and a Palladian or Venetian window.

Characteristics are:

• Coursed ashler walls or simulated ashler walls with quoins.
• Dormer windows.
• Double hung sash windows with multiple panes of glass in each sash.
• Cornice molding, typically dentils.
• Multiple chimneys.
