Annapolis Architecture




Annapolis was filled with unique homes boasting colorful facades.


Homes of many different colors lined the streets of historic Annapolis.



Sprinkled in between were boutiques, book stores and restaurants.





All of the homes were built in the same time period,


but retained their unique personality thru color and decor.



Some had porches, others window boxes or planters.



All home exteriors were well maintained which provided a quaint and charming atmosphere.




I'm sure the many colors of houses provide a cheerful view


during the long blustery winter months of Maryland.


Many had nautical or sea theme door knockers such as anchors, turtles or this crab.Isn't he adorable?




I'm linking to the following parties:

  5. LOVE the crab doorknocker....but the one that I REALLY like is the USMC flag flying proud. I'm a Marine Mom, so this just has to be the best. Oooorah.

    My Ruby Tuesday is "Skipping Rocks" - a sculpture. Come by to view if you have time today.
