The Chesapeake 24 - Georgian
The Chesapeake 24 - Georgian
Architects of the Georgian era drew heavily from the Classical styles popular in America’s infancy. The Chesapeake 24 is a result of this, showing Georgian elements like the low-sloped pediment on the main body and repeated in the dormers. The gentle arches on the porch beams soften the home’s strict order and adherence to symmetry and alignment. The most gracious details are reserved for the front entry, where visitors can appreciate the craftsmanship.
