Photographs

By Marion warren

Marion Warren’s six photographs capture this historic Annapolis neighborhood in a sleepier time: a lone midshipman slowly trudging through the snow by St. Anne’s Church; the official vehicle in front of Farmer’s National Bank; men chatting by the Courthouse fence; garden club members selling flowers; a family waiting for a parade; and neighborhood markets. People are recorded living, working, going about their everyday activities, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures–as generations of Annapolitans have done on these streets for years.

Completed August 2007.  37 West St, Annapolis MD 21401
