Architecture in Annapolis: A Field Guide

Maryland Historical Trust Press is the publishing unit of the State of Maryland's Division of Historical and Cultural Programs, an agency of the Department of Housing and Community Development. Publications include newsletters and numerous books, papers, and other print resources. A variety of publications offers the public a look at Maryland's historical and cultural past through architectural survey and inventory, archeological site exploration both above ground and underwater, and oral history documentation. Other publications help to make Maryland's populace more preservation conscious and provide technical assistance for saving cultural traditions, planning and managing historic sites, and enriching museum resources. 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.

Prepared to serve as a guide for a self-guided walking tour of the City of Annapolis, this publication features buildings that have been investigated thoroughly and best illustrate architectural forms and patterns characteristic of the Annapolis region. Arranged alphabetically to assist the reader in locating buildings, the field guide outlines underlying themes and regional trends that can be read in the urban landscape of this historic port city.
