Architectural style from state on Atlantic (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

georgian

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'architectural style' is the definition.
'georgian' can be an answer for 'style' (I have seen 'style of architecture' mean 'georgian' so perhaps 'style' could also mean 'georgian'). I am unsure of the 'architectural' bit.

'state on atlantic' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'state' could be 'georgia' (Georgia is an example) and 'georgia' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from' is the link.
