About to buy a house.  This is not the one, unfortunately.  I've always been keen on early Georgian.  Oftentimes one makes the mistake of referring to this type as "Colonial".  The more boorish and uncouth group it all together, including that awful architectural blunder knows as Georgian Revival.  Symmetrical, that's the way of it!  Nix the shutters and porticos and give me a full side-gable, simple cornices, twelve panes and tennis in the back.  Pedantic, I know.
