Annapolis today stands as a testament to its many layers of history, with four centuries of buildings standing side by side throughout the city. In honor of preservation month, this talk highlights Annapolis’ architectural landscape in the 1700s.  

The years prior to the Revolutionary War were a time of vast economic growth and opportunity encompassing all levels of Annapolis society. The changing urban landscape reflected the dramatic rise of new buildings creating distinct areas of commercial, speculative, and private spheres. In her richly illustrated lecture, Marcia Miller explores the many connections between the built environment and those who lived, worked, and labored in pre-Revolutionary Annapolis.
