The publications program is an educational outreach to the Maryland community -- serving schools and libraries, students and teachers, preservation planners and developers, historical organizations and citizen groups, and numerous others who, in learning, become more committed to protecting Maryland's historical and cultural legacy.Winner of the 1991 Antoinette Forrester Downing Award of the Society of Architectural Historians for its level of scholarly research, thoroughness, and imagination, this volume brings to print one of the least-known collections of eighteenth-and nineteenth-century buildings in Maryland. The author interprets the buildings as they relate to historic themes that have shaped Eastern Shore and tide-water Chesapeake Bay life. It includes the social and economic history of the county and an extensive building survey.</p>
