Regency

The Regency building style emerged towards the end of the broader Georgian period as a refinement on the earlier new-classical or Anglo-Palladian detailing adding an elegance and lightness of touch.

Many buildings of the Regency style have a white painted stucco facade and an entryway to the main front door (usually coloured black) which is framed by two columns. Regency residences typically are built as terraces or crescents. Elegant wrought iron balconies and bow windows came into fashion as part of this style.
