Notes
  • Photos are 35mm enlargements.
  • Significance: The present Municipal Building incorporates most of the original City Ballroom/Assembly Room and the attached Revenue Office) all c. 1767) in its building envelope, and occupies the site of the mid 18th Century Market House. The Ballroom was used as a legislative hall during the construction of the Maryland State House (1172) and traditionally is the "building in which Gen. Washington was entertained at dinner by the Congress of the United States on the 20th December, 1783." After the close of the Civil War and the alterations and additions detailed below were completed, separate rooms were set aside for the exclusive use of the city, while the Ballroom was still used for various public functions - dances, lectures, concerts and exhibitions. Architecturally, the 1974 restoration of the front facade has returned the structure to its 1867 appearance. Italianate in design, the Municipal Building, especially the northwest section, is one of the more important examples of its period and style in the Annapolis National Landmark Historic District.
