| The
Georgian period began in the early 1700s and ended around the
time of the American Revolution in most places. In York,
however, the period lasted much longer. The period can further
be divided into early, middle, and late, but for simplicity sake
well lump it into a single category. Some features of this
English-influenced style include a symmetrical faηade,
gable roof, double end chimneys, central entrance, and
watertable.
Flemish bond brickwork is prevalent and the windows are
multi-paned and typically have brick lintels. There are many
Georgian Period buildings in York, including the Colonial
Courthouse.
