Preservation Georgetown

Which parlor would you choose? ✨

These two spaces may share the same Victorian silhouette… but they tell completely different design stories.

🤍 A — French Victorian / Rococo Revival Inspired
Soft neutrals, gilded details, airy drapery, crystal accents, and light-filled elegance. A more refined and romantic interpretation often associated with formal parlors and feminine entertaining spaces.

🖤 B — Victorian Gothic Revival
Rich jewel tones, heavy velvet drapery, dark wood, layered texture, and dramatic mood. This aesthetic leans into the romanticism of the late 1800s — intimate, ornate, and deeply atmospheric.

Historic homes evolve over time, and decor choices completely transform how a room feels while still honoring its architectural roots.

So… which aesthetic speaks to you most?

A or B? 👇

Thinking about restoring your historic home? ✨

The Preservation Fund Grant Program was created to help property owners preserve the historic character and craftsmanship that make Georgetown so unique.

If your property is located within one of Georgetown’s historic overlays and you’re considering exterior restoration or rehabilitation work, your project may qualify for funding assistance through the program.

Eligible projects may include:

• Porches & balconies
• Historic windows
• Siding & trim
• Foundations & structural repairs
• Exterior architectural restoration
• …and more.

Applications for the Preservation Fund Grant Program are now open.
