After about 1840, Georgian conventions were slowly abandoned as a number of revival styles, including [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic Revival]], that had originated in the Georgian period, developed and contested in [[Victorian architecture]], and in the case of Gothic became better researched, and closer to their originals. Neoclassical architecture remained popular, and was the opponent of Gothic in the [[Battle of the Styles]] of the early Victorian period. In the United States the Federalist Style contained many elements of Georgian style, but incorporated revolutionary symbols.

In the early decades of the twentieth century when there was a growing nostalgia for its sense of order, the style was revived and adapted and in the United States came to be known as the [[Colonial Revival architecture|Colonial Revival]]. The revived Georgian style that emerged in Britain during the same period is usually referred to as '''Neo-Georgian'''; the work of [[Edwin Lutyens]]<ref>{{Cite web|last=Elizabeth McKellar, Professor of Architectural and Design History at the Open University|title=You Didn't Know it was Neo-Georgian|date=30 September 2016|url=https://heritagecalling.com/2016/09/30/you-didnt-know-it-was-neo-georgian/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=New Book Neo-Georgian Architecture 1880-1970: A Reappraisal by Julian Holder and Elizabeth|url=https://www.lutyenstrust.org.uk/portfolio-item/new-book-neo-georgian-architecture-1880-1970-reappraisal-julian-holder-elizabeth/|website=lutyenstrust}}</ref> and [[Vincent Harris]] includes some examples. The British town of [[Welwyn Garden City]], established in the 1920s, is an example of ''[[pastiche]]'' or Neo-Georgian development of the early 20th century in Britain. Versions of the Neo-Georgian style were commonly used in Britain for certain types of urban architecture until the late 1950s, [[Bradshaw Gass & Hope]]'s Police Headquarters in [[Salford]] of 1958 being a good example. Architects such as [[Raymond Erith]], and [[Donald McMorran]] were among the few architects who continued the neo-Georgian style into the 1960s. Both in the United States and Britain, the Georgian style is still employed by architects like [[Quinlan Terry]], [[Julian Bicknell]], [[Ben Pentreath]], [[ADAM Architecture|Robert Adam Architects]], and Fairfax and [[Richard Sammons|Sammons]] for private residences. A debased form in commercial housing developments, especially in the [[suburb]]s, is known in the UK as '''mock-Georgian'''.
