Cherrygarth was built using the conventions of Sylvin durring the early 17th century. Naturaly, all settlmentss have their own look to them, and Cherrygarth is no diffrent. The town's buildings feature plaster covered brickwork used to form structures with an emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry and the regularity of parts. Orderly arrangements of columns, pilasters and lintels, as well as the use of semicircular arches, hemispherical domes, niches and aediculae can be found everywhere such that only size of building and yard can be used to measure the general prosparity of a given building's owners due to a general wealthy feeling the style gives off.

Cherrygarth is buildings are located arround a single premissive gravel mainstreet which forms a clockwise spiral to give the town a over all circular shape. The town is the proud owner of a thick set of fortified walls fashioned from querried stone blocks. While not up to snuff for a fort or castle wall, the town's walls are naturaly much larger than those of forts or castles. Therefore, the construction such a wall is most expencive. Cherrygarth's buget focused wall would serve its community well in battle in spite of looking unimpressive compared to castles and fortresses.
