Chicago Architecture Center's video: Neighborhood Strollers Georgian Revival

Knowing which clues to look for helps us take educated guesses about the ages and styles of all types of buildings. Check out this Georgian Revival home in CAC Manager of School and Family Programs Rebecca Boland’s neighborhood and let us know what Georgian Revival houses you find in yours! Fun fact: Georgian Revival is named not for the U.S. state of Georgia, but for four kings of England who all had the same name: George! The first Georgian period in architecture spans the years those Georges reigned: 1714 to 1830. When this architectural style came back into vogue in the late 1800s and early 1900s, it was called the “Georgian Revival.” Part of our weekly mini magazine CAC@Home, CAC For the Family offers Storytime readings, Architecture Essentials activities, Neighborhood Strollers walks designed to help you discover the architecture of your own neighborhood and much more. Archived at architecture.org/athome for the general public, CAC@Home includes additional benefits and exclusive offerings for CAC members.
