- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about house types in Georgia. Houses make up more than three-quarters of all the historic buildings in Georgia. They also constitute a highly diverse group of historic buildings. Because of Georgia's architectural traditions, its historic houses must be understood and appreciated in terms of the building types they represent as well as their architectural styles. Indeed, the vast majority of historic houses in Georgia conform to recognized building types, while only about half exhibit architectural styles, and in many of these cases stylistic elements are secondary or applied. Building typology most clearly represents the traditional way of designing and building houses in Georgia.
