Okay, as some of you know I am a research geek and took a look at the difference between Georgian and Victorian architecture. Elaine - this is such a great question now that I understand each type of archictecture.

Georgian is a very simple, mathematical, symetrical type of architecture, while Victorian is very intricate, fanciful and curvacious.

Jamie is a very complex man - he almost seems to have two different personalities. The "Georgian" side is his political, public side. The side he relies upon most often in dealing with most everyone, I think. Its decisive, calculating and direct. But the Victorian I believe is more like the darker side of Jamie. He's not straight lines there - he's up and down and curvy and spired. Its a more emotional type of architecture, while Georgian seems more clinical.

I believe that Kirkpatrick's Folly is somehow a house that represents a history of dual personalities - sensitive, emotional people battling with the role of decisive, direct leader.

Does that make any sense?? *g*

As Casey might say, you're fockin' brilliant, luv. That is a great summing up (if such a thing is possible) of Jamie. (NT) -- Carla, 07:44:32 09/15/07 Sat
- *blush* thanks Carla...I would love to hear Casey say that to me! But you have to thank Elaine for the question....she's the real brilliant one! (NT) -- Lil, 10:13:00 09/15/07 Sat
  - I didn't really respond to that one because I was just to busy to look em up. Thanks for doing that, and that reply Lil. Now I see the difference. (NT) -- bug, 12:23:31 09/15/07 Sat
  - Ha! Hardly brilliant, Lil, not by a long shot. I loved your answer, it was masterfully thought out. You beautifully put into words what was sort of floating around in my head about Jamie and the distinct styles of architecture and design. He is just so damned complex it's impossible to box the man in. You really nailed it, Lil. Thanks for taking on the challenge! (NT) -- Elaine, 14:30:15 09/15/07 Sat
  - Excellent thinking Lil! (NT) -- Denise, 12:08:05 09/16/07 Sun
