Neo-Georgian. Late-C19 and early C20 English and American architecture inspired by C18 Georgian domestic architecture, usually featuring brick façades with rubbed-brick dressings, sash-windows, and door-cases with fanlights. Sometimes the inspiration was more Colonial than English, on both sides of the Atlantic, and vernacular elements were mixed with the underlying Classicism. It was especially used to describe architecture of the reign of King George V (1910–36). Among its most important protagonists were Erith, Francis Johnson, McMorran, A. E. Richardson, and, latterly, Terry.
