CITY HISTORY
In 1694, Annapolis, named after Princess Anne of Great Britain, became the capital of Maryland—then a British royal colony. The names of several of the streets—King George’s, Prince George’s, Hanover, and Duke of Gloucester, etc.—date from colonial days. From the middle of the 18th century until the War of Independence Annapolis was noted for its wealthy and cultivated society. During this period commerce was considerable and water trades such as oyster-packing, boatbuilding and sail-making became the city’s chief industries. Annapolis has many 18th century houses—examples of which will be visited and studied throughout the weekend.
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS: Historic Houses, Colonial Cities and Urban New Towns
The Hammond–Harwood House is one of the premier colonial houses remaining in America from the British colonial period. It is the only existing work of colonial academic architecture that was principally designed from a plate in Andrea Palladio’s, The Four Books of Architecture. Additional tour stops will include Chase–Lloyd House (a brick three-story Georgian mansion dating from 1769-1774 with interiors by William Buckland), the James Brice House and the William Paca House.
Located in the U.S. city of Gaithersburg, Maryland, Kentlands was one of the first attempts to develop a community using town planning techniques that are now generally referred to under the rubric of the New Urbanism—the concept of building walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods as a sustainable alternative to the spread out, automobile-centric subdivisions common to post-World War II American suburbia. Kentlands, built on a former farm estate, was begun in 1988 by Joseph Alfandre ( a developer) who brought in Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater–Zyberk—two urban planners credited with designing the town of Seaside, Florida.
