English Cottage Style Home – Georgia Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.

The subject of this Georgia canvas print is a classic English cottage style home in Montezuma, my home town. The design itself is classic Americana. There was a period around the beginning of the 20th century when English Vernacular Revival architecture was quite popular. And people still seek old homes and build new homes in this style today. There’s simply something appealing and homey about it that makes for classic art as well. There’s definitely a storybook quality to these old homes that works well for this canvas art.

This one was built in 1907. This historic English cottage style home has the distinction of having been designed by Georgia’s first registered female architect, Leila Ross Wilburn.
