Page "Georgian architecture" Paragraph 21

Unlike the Baroque style that it replaced, which was generated almost solely in the context of palaces and churches, Georgian had wide currency in the upper and middle classes.

Within the residential context, the best remaining example is the pristine Hammond-Harwood House ( 1774 ) in Annapolis, Maryland.

This house was designed by colonial architect William Buckland and modeled on the Villa Pisani at Montagnana, Italy as depicted in Andrea Palladio's I quattro libri dell ' architettura (" Four Books Of Architecture ").
