Georgian style (1714 to 1830)
Highly variable style marked by symmetry and proportion based on the classical architecture of Greece and Rome, as revived in Renaissance architecture.

It was characterised by an emphasis on the vertical, with increasingly tall buildings, featuring almost impossibly thin stone structures, pointed arches and ribbed stone vaults, interspersed with expanses of glass, supported by external flying buttresses. For the architecture are typical pointed arches and pretentious constructions.
Gothic revival (also Neo Gothic) (1760 – 1880)
An architectural movement that began in England. Its popularity grew rapidly in the early 19th century, when increasingly serious and learned admirers of neo-Gothic styles sought to revive mediaeval Gothic architecture, in contrast to the neoclassical styles prevalent at the time. Gothic Revival draws features from the original Gothic style, including decorative patterns, finials, lancet windows, hood moulds and others.
