Georgian Georgian architecture, built in the 18th and early 19th centuries, is generally-speaking, characterised by simplicity, with plain wall surfaces, large window openings, and careful attention to proportion, and to the relationship between architectural features. In more elaborate Georgian buildings, classical features are often employed. Roof pitches are usually, low, and roofs concealed behind parapets or upstands. In Scotland, classically-detailed steeples, and large round-arched windows are distinctive features of many Georgian churches. Related Words Classical; Parapet; Upstand
