Regency architecture
An early nineteenth century English architectural style that was popularised between 1811-1820 (when King George IV was Prince Regent). Regency architecture is similar to neoclassical Georgian architecture, but has added elegance, featuring column-framed entrances and white-painted stucco facades. Domestic buildings of this period were often built as terraces or crescents and typically included elegant wrought iron balconies and bow windows. John Nash was a great exponent of the style and the houses at Regent’s Park Crescent and Lower Regent Street in London are fine examples of his work. (Ambrose, 2008)
