As the others pointed out, there's no such thing as "Southern Architecture." Just as there's no such thing as "Northern Architecture." There are so many different styles of architecture in the South that it's impossible to generalize them together.
Personally, the better architectural styles in the South are fantastic, diverse, and fairly wide spread. Sure, each region has some ugly structures, but the South has a lot more good than bad. From the Antebellum and Shot Gun homes near New Orleans, to the Crafstman gems you see in cities like Charlotte, Atlanta, etc. to Victorians in Savannah and Georgian and Greek Revival architecture in Charleston (and so much more) The South has a wide variety of fantastic architectural gems.
And add on those dynamite rowhouse neighborhoods in Richmond.
How it is it Tacky? BTW the Biltmore Estate is European style architecture not Southern.
