Annapolis Architecture Gallery

Annapolis, Maryland is an impossibly quaint old city. Situated at the mouth of the Severn River, on the Chesapeake Bay, it is both the state capital and home of the United States Naval Academy. European settlement of the area dates back to 1649; centuries of organic growth has produced a wonderfully eclectic, somewhat haphazard collection of architectural styles. Compact and cobbled, the historic district is immensely photogenic. Visit in the spring or summer for the best experience, and be sure to get out on the water.
