 spent a lot of time going through Historic Annapolis making sure I had documented all the different styles represented here!  It was a lot of work, but boy was it fun!

As I was just going through my notes, I saw I had this and didn't share it!  Most people don't know that the plaques on the historic homes are color coded!  The different colors help with determining the Architectural style and age!

​The markers are color-coded as follows:
• Dark Green markers : 17th century (1684-1700)
• Bronze markers:  18th-century buildings of national importance
• Brick Red markers :  designate 18th century or Georgian Federal (1700-1784)
• Blue markers:  Federal (1784-1840)
• Light Green markers: Greek Revival (1820-1860)
• Purple markers: Victorian Period (1837-1901)
• Grey markers: 19th/20th-century vernacular (1837-1930)
• Yellow markers :20th-century distinctive (1901- Present)
