The
American Friends of the Georgian Group fosters the appreciation and
preservation of architecture, art, and design from the reigns of George
I to George IV in England.
The
American Friends of the Georgian Group supports the work of the
Georgian Group in England
and the two groups endeavor to expand knowledge and promote public
awareness of all aspects of Georgian design.
The Georgian
Group, founded in 1937, is the British national charity for the
protection of Georgian buildings, townscapes, monuments, parks,
and gardens. It has a statutory role in advising English and Welsh
planning authorities on proposals to alter or demolish listed Georgian
buildings. |

In the United States,
the American Friends of the Georgian Group makes grants to support research,
analysis, and restoration of historically important architectural sites.
The group's main purpose, however, is its support of the work of the Georgian
Group in England.
The
American Friends of the Georgian Group has made significant contributions
to the restoration of the Georgian Group headquarters, designed
by Robert Adam, in Fitzroy Square and to support case workers, who
monitor and report on the condition of Georgian buildings throughout
England and Wales.
American Friends
of the Georgian Group members receive The Georgian, the magazine
published three times a year by the Georgian Group in England that
covers the group’s activities as well as current research
and preservation efforts. |
