A monotone photograph of a three-storey Georgian building. The property's grand entrance has a triangular entablature with "Founded 1174" and "Hospital of St. John the Baptist" carved into the stone. Beyond the gated-arch is a dark passageway that leads to a brightly lit courtyard. St John's Foundation, Chapel Court, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A Georgian townhouse in a terrace on a pedestrian street. The three storey building (plus attic and basement) dates from 1770. The ground floor is painted white up to a platband, above which is exposed Bath oolitic limestone. The first floor has an unusual balcony featuring a swept canopy with trellised supports.

Another of Glasgow's surviving Georgian villas. This one is on Saint George's Road and comes from the very end of the Georgian period in the 1830s.

An elegant neoclassical gallery room with a domed skylight and crystal chandelier hanging from the center. The room features pale blue-grey walls with ornate decorative molding, wooden floorboards, and several white marble sculptures and busts displayed on pedestals. Two arched alcoves frame a doorway, and a decorative fireplace sits on the left wall. The natural light from the circular skylight illuminates the classical statuary throughout the space

A grand double staircase with ornate black wrought iron railings ascends symmetrically on either side of a luxurious red carpet runner. The stairs meet at a central landing beneath tall windows draped with elaborate burgundy and gold curtains. An elegant crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, illuminating the cream-colored marble floors with black diamond insets. Fluted classical columns frame the entrance to this opulent interior space.

An elegant neoclassical corridor with a series of white barrel-vaulted ceilings adorned with ornate gold leaf detailing and decorative ceiling medallions. The hallway features polished herringbone parquet flooring, pale sage-green walls with white molding and baseboards, and is lit by spherical globe chandeliers suspended from each vault. Formal portraits in dark frames hang on both walls, and a decorative stone urn sits atop a dark pedestal on the left side. Classical architectural elements include arched doorways and Corinthian column capitals.

A photograph of a two-storey Georgian building in a terrace. At the centre, there is a doorway with a Tudor arch and "sunken spandrels." Above the vertical-panelled door is a wonderful carved stone scroll with the word "SCHOOLS" in blackletter type. Less nice is the bright yellow, hexagonal alarm box centred above it. The Schoolhouse (now the Bath Preservation Trust Planning & Campaigning Office), Countess of Huntingdon’s Chapel, The Paragon, Bath, UK. Unfiltered and unedited photo by Gearóid Burke—the colour is a little exaggerated in this shot, but this is exactly what the lens picked up.

A close-up of the subject of the previous photo: a carved stone scroll with the word "SCHOOLS" in blackletter type. Lovely bit of craftsmanship!

The side of a building with four bays—one with a panelled door, the other three feature large stained glass windows. At the top of each bay is a round window with a central oculus surrounded by six smaller circular openings. This chapel for St John's Foundation was built in 1717, and was the first Georgian chapel in Bath. There was a close association with the nearby parish church, the original St Michael’s Within, and when the latter was demolished, it adopted the name. Hetling Court, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

An opulent Gothic Revival church stands on a sharp corner. Its extra-tall three panel window is topped by a rose window and an octagonal spire. St Michael's Church, known as St Michael's Without, was completed in 1837 to replace an earlier church, and its spire is a landmark in the city. Broad Street, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A church building in a terrace. A pair of arched doorways (though the doors have been replaced by plate glass windows) with a Corinthian column between them, above which is a round window and a shallow pediment. The second level has a trio of windows, the middle having a smaller Corinthian column as a mullion. Below the window ledges, the yellow limestone has the name Hope Chapel carved into it. The pediment has "United Methodist" on the ascending diagonal and "Free Churches" descending. The facade dates back to the 1860s, though the building is older than that. The Methodists vacated the premises in 1913, and now there are flats, most of which seem to be available as short-term holiday rentals. Lower Borough Walls, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A monotone photograph of a rather grand looking building. It is set back from its neighbours, the sides of which can be seen to the left and right. Iron railings and neat, low hedges are seen in the foreground. The front facade features tall windows with ogee-arched heads and a battlemented roofline, both key features of the Gothic Revival style. This is Countess of Huntingdon’s Chapel. Selina Hastings, said Countess of Huntingdon, saw the social life in Bath as one of decadence and immorality, so she built a Chapel to spread her favoured flavour of Methodism. The chapel was last used for worship in 1981 and is now the Museum of Bath Architecture. The Paragon, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A monotone photograph of a large gatepost which has been carved to read "Formerly Countess of Huntingdon’s Chapel, A.D. 1765." The word "formerly" is in a smaller, lighter style than the rest of the words. The Paragon, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A modest, mid-terrace, three-storey Georgian townhouse in an English market town. It is built on a slope, opens directly to a footpath and faces an iron railing. The facade's warm grey paint is elegantly faded, the yellow stone trim shows signs of age and pollution. The doors and window frames have been painted laurel green, and the windows (one per floor) reduce in size and complexity as they rise up the building (20 panes, 12 panes, 6 panes). Catherine Street, Frome, Somerset, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A short, narrow backstreet with the soot-stained side of a building on the left, tall garden walls on the right and straight ahead—with the backs of some Georgian townhouses beyond. The wall on the right has many large weeds growing on it. A old-fashioned lamppost stands at the junction of this passageway and the pedestrian street to the left. Above it all is a bright blue sky and big fluffy cumulus clouds. Edgar Mews, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.

A short, narrow pedestrian street, lined by terraced houses of mixed height but all in the distinctive yellow of Bath oolitic limestone. The grey paving stones have green weeds growing between them, with further plant growth along the sides. We look downhill to an almost perpendicular street with five-storey Georgian townhouses. A lone figure can be seen beginning their ascent of the incline. Hay Hill, Bath, UK. Photo by Gearóid Burke.
