There’s something both stately and understated about Georgian architecture. Its essence hearkens back to early colonization in the early 1700s, when settlers used British architectural building manuals – pattern books. The construction of these buildings reflected colonial growth and prosperity. The imposing stone or brick façade and stature give this style its grandness, while the calming symmetry gives it an inviting air. The same is true of this Georgian Manor Home that sits on the shoreline of a lake in upstate New York.
The color and texture of the siding, the proportion of the doors and windows, and the dormers and the lookout on top give the exterior of the home a relaxed Georgian feel.
The hallmarks of the style on the exterior of the home include the symmetrical form and placement of multi-pane windows, a hipped roofline, stone walls, the elaborate entry portico and door surround, ornamental cornice and the belt course running horizontally through the middle of the structure.
Four unique limestone panels were created to reflect the interests of family members.
