"The city of Georgetown was designed largely by the Dutch and is laid out in a rectangular pattern with wide tree-lined avenues and irrigation canals, that crisscross the city. Most of the city's historical buildings are wooden in construction, reflecting the unique 18th and 19th century architecture."
