Identifying Georgian Buildings
‘Georgian houses were characterised

practicality. Planning Acts decreed
that red brick should be used to build
houses, as a fire precaution.
Architectural literature was published
which encouraged townhouses that
had standardised designs for
doorways, chimneys, etc.’
