Maryland Daily PhotoEvery Week Day a New Picture from MD

Thi is the Shiplap house in Annapolis.  It is one of the, if not the absolute, oldest buildings in the historic downtown area.    It was built in 1715 and named after the material useed to side sailing ships and which was used to side part of the house itself.  Appropriately, the man who used to live there, cut lumber for ships and also ran a tavern out of the house.  

It has changed hands a few times and is now home to a the Historic Annapolis Foundation.
