Wow this should be featured on the HISTORY CHANNEL. this is everything I love and enjoy in life. Really relaxing my personal hobby in wondering and loving to see fine craftsmanship. To find out how today we have such modern machines and it’s still not as wonderful as it was when done by hand. I couldn’t imagine being from the time being able to see all the craftsmanship that goes in to those homes back then. It must have taken years. Today some of those homes are still standing. The craftsmanship can’t even be replaced/replicated as well as it once was. It’s a forgotten art. Would love to see this come back. Give the younger generations the lost art of fine craftsmanship. Thank you so much for posting. Love it. Looking at some of the moldings it looks as if it’s 3 or even 4 parts together.

This is exactly the kind of architectural style introduction I've been wanting for years. So many books that purport to be surveys of different styles stop at the front door, making it difficult for a homeowner to get any insight into how the interior space needs to be designed to fit a particular style or to match the style of the exterior. Now on to the next video!

I love learning about georgian and federal architecture here. Im an interior finish carpenter and have done lots and lots of 6panel hollow core doors and 3-1/4” baseboard homes. but more interesting are the homes that are confused as to what they are- often custom remodels of homes between 30 and 90 years old. I never knew how important it is for me to learn my history of the trade and learn to apply that knowledge to my work.

What a beautiful home! It is evident - to the semi-trained eye, at least - that the quality of construction and craftsmanship are of highest caliber. To wit - the Palladian windows are one-piece glass (inclusive of arched tops), rather than standard window with a second, arched piece of glass installed atop it. Or the specially shaped brick that was shown and installation style (I am a Flemish bond guy, personally). Or the sublime millwork throughout the inside of the residence. Most folks have no idea how expensive it is to do that, and how few craftsmen exist in this country to execute the designs. Pleasure seeing it here, TY!

That was very nice. I grew up in a 1807 center chimney cape in NH. The fireplace sat on a 12 foot slap of white granite, we had to take down the fireplace because we had a chimney fire that lasted 4 days, the bad part to this whole thing it was all original. There was a fireplace in the back bedroom as well as the living space and brick ovens in the kitchen area. The living space was the project for the summer we took down 30,000 brick by hand…..you have to remember that all the brick was made there, the pine boards were 15 feet long and 12 inches across we had them dipped to bring out there natural color, then there was panels some were 12 feet long by 36 inches tall all one piece and another 25 foot long we took off 37 coats of paint by hand some of the original color was blue that bled through and was ingrained into the wood, all the moldings around the entry doors and panels over the fireplace, some were 5 foot in with by 6 ft long all had to be scraped and paint removed. The fireplace foundation was built on a stone bin witch supported the foot thick by 12 ft slab that the fireplace sat on. The house had a dirt floor. It had 150 acres to it. My family lived on it for 103 years, so of the 225 years at that point. The original use of that place was a meetinghouse. It was a great place to grow up in.

For our questions, we’re looking at building a second “100-year home” in the woods here in Canada, with Passive House energy performance and a net zero carbon profile, but which is dominated by Palladian thinking and timeless architectural elements. Resources or places to help develop our thinking which do not involve paying fancy architects and which do give us scope to participate to a hobbyist degree, would be fantastic.

I’m a huge fan of the British Country House, especially Georgian, my favorite period. I have a huge library on this topic, even though I’m an American. The oldest period homes we have here in San Francisco is the Victorian, like my home (except for some early Adobes, which tend to collapse in local earthquakes). It differs greatly from Georgian, of course, but at least has its verticality and detailed moldings. I grew up in a new, different modern ranch house every year, I couldn’t wait to escape those flat, beige boxes!🙂

Hello Brent. May I please ask: What are your recommended ceiling heights in a Georgian home build for the basement, ground floor, upper floor, and attic rooms? (Allowing for ducted floor heating and ducted ceiling cooling in the lower and upper floors.) I’d be very interested to know. With sincerest thanks, Andrew (Australia)
@BrentHull2 жыл бұрын
Well, I would fall back on historic precedent and historic traditions. There are regional differences due to weather that will affect ceiling heights. In the Southern United States heat can be oppressive and thus ceiling heights are tall so the hot air could rise and it would be cooler in the home. In Northern homes they have the exact opposite issues, ceilings were not made as tall so that homes could be heated more effectively. You also have a different heights between levels of house. A simple home in this period is going to be much different then a mansion. Finally, ceiling heights would be graduated based on hierarchy, grand main floor, less grand 2nd floor, least grand in attics and basements. However, rambling way too long on this subject, i would venture to guess 8' in basement and attic. 10-12' on 1st floor, 10' on 2nd floor.

For example, either on the fireplace in this video or on a door with full entablature near a staircase where you don't want to see heavy dust collecting when walking up the stairs and glance over at the doorway? If you set a piece of stock on top of it, it changes the proportions. Is it just a piece of stock recessed in the void inside the cyma?

Unfortunately , people think it's too low-brow or weird to sit in front of your house and wave to the neighbors, so it's practically gone extinct.

I love Georgian style, it’s my favorite. Fenestration, which is so important, is terrible in most modern domestic buildings. The horizontal “picture window” of the mid 20th C. was disastrous, the vertical proportions of classical design are so much more elegant and make more sense. Classical design is based on aesthetically pleasing proportions and symmetry, which the human eye always prefers.

Absorbing. Here in the UK, our history; our longer variety of building styles seems to make us less absorbed by a particular period. The house we currently live has a very mixed history. It’s half of a cottage which was originally divided into 3. The front section was built around 1760 for farm workers; small, basic but probably quite a luxury then. It’s now been extended several times but is Grade II listed. Grade I means the most historically important buildings in England and you can do nothing, including painting and decorating without formal approval of the colours, materials etc. Grade II are obviously more common and you can do nothing structural without formal approval. There Grade III, I believe, but I don’t know about that. There are hundreds of Grade I; thousands of Grade II. So, we tend to take less notice of them and their significance. The age of our house is not remarkable to us; we have houses and pubs around us that date back to 1450 or earlier. What surrounds us, tends to be taken for granted. What I am trying to say is that we tend not to cherish a certain style - I’m not saying that it’s right; quite the opposite. The planning system over here is broken; central government sets targets for the number of new homes; local councils interpret that and make local policies. However, the planning system in local councils, in general, is inept such that central government have had to step in with legislation to make conversions (of old agricultural buildings into residences) or the conversion of brown field (previous industrial or commercial sites) into residential sites possible. Previously, local councils just said no to anything that they personally did not like. Local councils would not fight the big developers because the big developers had the money to fight the council through the courts. The small developer, the private person wishing to convert a single property (which has been me) is fought tooth and nail by the council because they don’t have the financial resources of the big developer. The council local to us feels able to act unprofessionally with impunity because…it’s the local council. In our case, the planning department and the planning committee of our local council has lied - in writing - has sought to deceive - on video and failed to respect even the basics - Such as measuring before complaining of size. No wonder that, this planning department, amongst others I’m sure, is regarded as having no integrity or professionalism. You would not be allowed to build a new house of the scale shown here on a green field site. You might get permission eventually to convert an existing house of roughly the same size but I’m sure then that the local Conservation Officer (who in my experience is so inept that it’s laughable) will try to insist that you replicate the style of building that was already there. I’m also not sure that they would be the demand to build a new house replicating exactly a Tudor oak-framed house or a Georgian palladium style or a Victorian villa etc. It seems the demand is to either move into an existing Tudor, Georgian or whatever and preserve or to move into a house which represents current styles. The very excellent UK series Grand Designs seems to show that styles that individuals want to build. Apologies for the winding road that I’ve gone down. We have a huge demand for housing, particularly here in the south east of England. That has led to central government giving each council targets that must be met for the building of new houses. Because local councils are perhaps afraid of the big developers; corrupted by the big developers; inept (delete which is not applicable) we see huge estates, up to 4000 houses, being built on the edge of existing small towns and villages. These houses are, almost invariably, incredibly badly constructed with, seemingly, the ethos of build cheap; sell quick. The number of faults found in these new houses is well publicised. So, the picture here of the preservation of old buildings and the development of new ones is so mixed; so inconsistent that only government and local councils could have produced it. There are many people who care; many people who want to preserve the past; many people who want to build new taking the best principals of the past and adapting them for modern living. But they are being worn down by constant fighting from the enemy.

The listing goes from Grade 2 > Grade 2* > Grade 1. I live in an early 15th century cottage, which is Grade 2* listed, myself. Also, many homes are built in a historic style in England (especially in the countryside), as there are many villages and towns that will not allow anything else built unless it suits the surrounding architecture. A notable example of this happening would be within the beautiful stone town of Stamford (England), or in regions such as the Cotswolds.
