The pattern

Repetition holds the facade together. Window centres align vertically, the principal floor is generous, and smaller upper windows draw the eye back to the street. The doorway provides a single point of emphasis.

These are interpretations of two townhouse traditions. Individual Georgian and Victorian streets vary considerably.
