ANNAPOLIS’ CITY DOCK NAMED AS ONE OF AMERICA’S 11 MOST ENDANGERED HISTORIC PLACES

City Dock, Annapolis

As we worked on this issue, we learned that The National Trust for Historic Preservation recently named Annapolis City Dock area as one of the eleven most endangered, one-of-a kind historic places in America. Instead of our usual Publishers’ Letter, we are sharing with Annapolis Home readers the concerns the Trust and other historic organizations have raised. The Trust makes clear that Annapolis is significant to the nation. The Trust states: Among the most historic urban spaces in America, a current proposal to re-zone portions of the Colonial Annapolis Historic District—undermining local laws and policies that have protected the historic district for over 45 years—threatens to damage the area’s quality of life and heritage tourism economy, as well as permanently diminish its charm and unparalleled views. Two things together make Annapolis unlike any other city in the United States: its location on the Chesapeake Bay and its downtown historic design and exceptional colonial architecture. Both are incredibly vulnerable. Both require engaged citizens and organizations to protect them. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation and Historic Annapolis are among those organizations devoted to this enormous and ongoing challenge. Development and change are key to any thriving city, and given Annapolis’ distinct historic and waterfront character, development and urban planning must carefully take into account these two extraordinarily important factors. Serious mistakes in Annapolis’ urban planning and architecture are already part of the city’s history. Some of those mistakes we see every day: the undistinguished architecture of the Waterfront Marriott Hotel (originally a Hilton), which creates a barrier wall to the Bay; and the fact that City Dock, with its spectacular waterfront views, has been turned into a run-of-the mill parking lot. Our hope is that City Dock will be revitalized in a way that preserves downtown Annapolis’ human scale and enhances and complements the city’s historic character. For this to happen, educated and experienced professionals in historic planning and preservation need to be consulted every step of the way. Our hope is also that the National Trust for Historic Presentation and Preservation Maryland will be praising Annapolis for its sensitive and inspired planning and development, rather than coming to town with the urgent warning to local officials and citizens that City Dock is endangered.

If you love the sea and sailing, as well as painting, you will want to see the exhibition, Water, Wind, and Waves: Marine Paintings from the Dutch Golden Age, now at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. According to the Gallery, during the seventeenth century the Dutch became “leaders in marine travel, transport, commerce, and security as their massive cargo carriers and warships traversed oceans and their small vessels and fishing boats navigated inland and coastal waterways.” In this exhibition, Dutch artists capture the drama of the sea, its constantly changing forms and awesome power. The exhibition, which includes paintings, drawings and ship models, is open through November 25, 2018. For more information, visit nga.gov.

Successful design depends on good relationships. “The problem with today’s technology is that the clients get too many photos and come up with over-analysis paralysis…we had to have a conversation with them to stop, they needed to put their trust in us,” says Kim Mohr.

The designers carefully layer patterns and colors. In the above photo, there are five patterns at play, including the couch.

Architecture and interior design can change your perception, inside an entire home, or a single room. Landscape architecture can shape how and what the eye beholds. At its finest, custom building becomes a craft, a study in beauty and form. When these artistic mediums are harnessed and work in tandem, a force is created—a home of intention comes into being. This is the case of a mid-Atlantic Shingle-Style residence build in 2016 on a point of land overlooking the Magothy River for an Under Armour executive. Architect David Riegel designed the home in this classic yet creative style for many reasons. “My client is very patriotic. He loves America. The Shingle Style is the first truly American architectural coastal style.” Developed for affluent seaside resorts in California and New England in the late 19th century, McKim, Meade and White, a prominent architectural firm in New York, initially promoted the style. Shingle was America’s unique adaptation of other traditions and a clear expression of individualism. From the Queen Anne, it borrowed wide porches, shingled surfaces and asymmetrical forms. From the Colonial Revival, it adapted gambrel roofs and Palladian windows. Riegel’s design also pulls from the ideology of the Arts & Crafts Movement, which favored

traditional craftsmanship, simple forms and romantic or folk styles of decoration. Most importantly, notes Riegel, during the late 19th century, residential design changed from a vertical orientation, seen in many historic residences with brick fronts in Annapolis, to design favoring a strong horizontal emphasis. “You see that in the façade of this house. But the success to any design is balance and a range of scaled elements,” says Riegel. He points out the many descending rooflines and how the front doorway and curved archway become a focal point. Their vertical emphasis breaks the strong horizontal movement to either side. The gabled dormer window in the third story roof is a “smaller geometry,” intended to sit in counterpoint to other intermediate forms such as the dormer and gables below and bring balance to the overall composition Interior designers Kim Mohr and Erin Olexia, co-owners of Dream House Studios were guided by the architecture and the family’s welcoming personality. “The windows were a big focus on the architectural side of the design because they capture the view as soon as you walk through the door,” notes Mohr. The team chose to leave them bare, softening other parts of the home by layering fabric, patterns and color. A special creativity with color and fabric is what makes Mohr

In the homework room, the interior designers provided every detail, from colored pencils, to childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books, to succulents.

and Olexia stand apart. In an unusual application, they placed grass cloth between the generous ceiling beams in the living room to introduce texture and absorb sound. “I feel you have to put your clients out of their comfort zone. That’s why they hire us,” says Mohr. Rather than using an “over-the-top” bright coastal palette, they preferred softer hues and complex combinations. For example, in the living room, there are five different patterns on the pillows. The team encouraged the homeowners to choose a brave geometry print for deep blue couches, adding an exhilarating orange club chair. “The more layers and textures you have in a home the better. There is a place for your eye to travel and place for your eyes to rest. Using soft colors helps with that, when you start to get too bright or too dark, it is jarring,” says Mohr. Another force driving the design was barn wood salvaged from the pre-existing home on the site. Its weathered hues add individuality to kitchen cabinets and range hood. Custom builder John Riley, of the Annapolis-based Riley Custom Homes, salvaged copious amounts of barn wood, turning it over to the designers. His team also was responsible for not only building the home, but also crafting its built-ins, extra wide baseboards, crown and cove molding, which give the interior a kind of Arts & Crafts feel. If these elements are not built with precision, perfect scale and delicacy, the whole home would be compromised, notes Riley. The surrounding sloping landscape, a combination of sweeping turf and natural plantings, is an important part of this home’s equation. Landscape architect Eric J. Blamphin, notes “the geometry of the Magothy River” figured prominently into his design. The home faces a wide section of the Magothy and one can see straight up the river to the Chesapeake Bay. In fact, he says, an ornate planting scheme could distract. “The Magothy views are breathtaking. Sometimes, as in this case, it is important to maintain restraint,” he says. A combination of restraint and freedom infuse this home with a certain balance. How does it differ from the many others dotting the nearby shores? It does more than exist and look lovely. Rather, it presides as if watching over the River with good intentions and clear convictions. The home and grounds are now a part of the everchanging Magothy River, with places inside and out of doors to entertain, to enjoy its majesty or to be still and hear it speak. AH

This bathroom is an example of how the interior designers layer color, materials, and textures to achieve a serene “easy living” feel.

The faucet’s simple geometry is complimented by the round mirror above. Wallpaper, a 5-panel door with custom knob and wainscoting are craft details that add distinction.

The octagonal porch is an example of the Shingle Styleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asymmetry.

My River Speaks BY MARIANNE A. TAYLOR - Excerpt from My River Speaks: The History and Lore of the Magothy River In the early and mid 1700s, like other Western Shore rivers, the lands surrounding the Magothy were used pragmatically for tobacco plantations and for working lumber and grist mills. Moderate winters, late falls and early springs, with gentle waters surrounding the land, created the ideal environment for farming. But the plantations still formed a patchwork of clearings among the existing forested lands. While these plantations were being established, the small creeks still provided shelter, due to their forested cover, for the Indians. Many Algonquians went into these sheltered coves and tributaries to set up small camps; others became hunting and fishing guides for the new white gentry entering the area, sometimes even dressing like colonists. Other Indian tribes seemed to have lost their spirit for who they really were and became prey to alcoholism and disease. An important missionary noted: …these detached Indian families living among the white people on the banks of rivers, and on that account called “River-Indians,” are generally a loose set of people, like our gypsies they make baskets, bromes, wooden spoons, dishes, etc. and sell them to the white people for victuals and clothe.

My River Speaks: The History and Lore of the Magothy River is available for purchase at The Cottage in Severna Park and Angels Food Market in Pasadena. You may also contact Bay Media, Inc. (baymed.com) to order a copy, or through Amazon.

Marianne Artino Taylor has lived along the banks of the Magothy River for over 40 years. She has an MLA in Literature and the History of Ideas from Johns Hopkins University and has conducted seminars on “Great Writers of American and English Literature.” She lives with her husband Robert Taylor, a retired energy recovery entrepreneur. Marianne encourages us all to support the Magothy River Association, which is devoted to preserving life upon and within the Magothy. Magothyriver.org.

The former structure was an unremarkable cabin with single pane windows, minimal insulation and linoleum flooring.

W O O D S Y R E T R E AT BY SARAH HAGERTY | PHOTOGRAPHY BY GEOFFREY HODGDON

A MODEST SUMMER CABIN BECOMES A YEAR-ROUND SHOWPLACE ON THE EASTERN SHORE It took imagination, vision and plenty of optimism for the couple to turn a barebones Centreville cabin—with single-pane windows, minimal insulation and linoleum flooring—into the home of their dreams. But for the couple who purchased it, it was love at first sight, based on one main factor: the cabin’s stellar location. The pair had been casually house hunting for years. They were looking to downsize but still wanted a home that could accommodate their extended, blended family. Then a realtor took them to an unremarkable cabin on the Corsica River—high above the river actually. It was a perfect, safe-from-flooding spot with terrific water views. “It’s like living in a tree house,” the woman of the house says. And perhaps meant to be: the street number is the same as the home they had lived in for years. But the man of the house thought the home, built in 1973, “was very uninspiring.” However, he says, “the six or seven acres it sat on, backing up on a farm road, were awesome.”

Hand crafted wood abounds and reflects the home owner’s passion for lumber and its many artistic possibilities.

Lundberg Builders remedied the situation. Robert Moreland handled the redesign, taking the home from 1,500 square feet to 2,100 square feet (providing plenty of room for those nine grandchildren). Moreland says the redesign was partly “driven by necessity” because it had foundation problems and poor circulation patters.” Of special note, Moreland designed the stair tower that adds drama to both the interior and front exterior of the home. He also conceived of space for an elevator—to be added someday, if needed. Until that time, the space does double duty as closets. Windows played a starring role in the redesign. Gary Loque of Loewen Windows of Annapolis says the windows are a Windsor Contemporary line utilizing a black finish

on both the exterior and interior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The oversized glass and one-of-akind configurations made it the perfect window to show off the perfect natural surroundings of his waterfront property,â&#x20AC;? he adds. Everywhere you turn, inside and out, those wonderful views are part of the house itself. In the wintertime, when the leaves are gone, the house feels like an observatory, as you watch deer stroll through the yard.

A porch overlooking the river, perfect for crab feasts and family cookouts, makes this house a home.

In the open concept living room/dining room, the towering 22-foot stone fireplace shares the spotlight with those wonderful windows that allow you to see right out to the lush screened-in porch. The granite stone, from Harwood Landscaping Products, makes another appearance on the exterior of the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in a different color than the fireplace but in the same mortar-less style.

The colorful swivel stools in the kitchen invite interaction and reflect the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spirited personalities.

But perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kitchen that has changed the most, the owner says. She appreciates the cabinetry from 314 Design Studio, and the quartzite countertops, from In Home Stone, as well as the G.E. Monogram series appliances from The Appliance Source. The overall effect of this remodeled home is that it is integrated with the trees and water while providing a contemporary designed home that embraces family.

REFLECTIONS ON A PLOT OF LAND By Robert C. Hruby, ASLA

High Summer In my last article, we discussed ways to pause and admire the nature that surrounds our homes. I have to admit that it really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen for me until very recently, after the rains and clouds gave way to a normal summer day on the Chesapeake Bay. With heat, humidity, reflecting sun, and the sounds of cicadas buzzing. I hit pause on life, grabbed my camera, and sped to my favorite garden, which overlooks the Severn River.

This is the height of the season, when all the summer perennials have reached above the spring flowers we saw emerging in April and May. They are mostly in full bloom, but some are already gone. I missed them again! (Fortunately, I have some photos from past seasons.) The warm season grasses, which were hardly present earlier, have finally filled in and are beginning to bloom. The garden is now swarming with pollinating insects and chasing birds. With all this happening, I am drawn to the overall textures of the composition and the various colorful blooms that pop up here and there. The contrasting textures of a landscape are really what defines a successful planting design. We all love the flowers, but these don’t persist, so you need to think about the overall qualities of each plant throughout the seasons. When the composition is considered as a whole, the qualities of each plant will help decide where who is placed next to who. Our designs for herbaceous borders are typically fairly loose, and inspired by natural landscapes. One of my mentors described this as a battle of plants “fighting it out” for space in the garden. This evolution of a constantly changing garden is what makes it so wonderful, if you pay attention to what is happening. In studying a meadow, you can see that there is usually a dominant matrix of a medium sized plant throughout—often a fine-textured grass. Taller species evolve to reach above this layer to seek the sun. Below, in the shade, a layer of creeping plants occupies the in between spaces and spreads to define the edges. Many of these shorter plants are the ones that we saw blooming in the spring, when they had full attention from the sun. Now they are receding. These ephemeral patterns, which are defined by plants seeking the moisture, soil, and light levels they prefer, are legible in nature and make great inspirations for our own garden designs. Everything is about to change again, as we hit the “dog days” of August. Get out there with all the birds, bees and butterflies, before it is too late.

Seeds

for Thought

This combination of colors and textures has persisted in this garden for may seasons. The front of the border consists of Echinacea purpurea ‘Magnus’ and Amsonia hubrichtii. Agastache ‘Black adder’, Rudbeckia maxima and Eupatorium fistulosum are rising up from behind.

Allium Giganteum is an ornamental onion that grows to 40" tall, in late Spring. Use this in groups, and repeat throughout the sunny parts of your garden. These add a colorful accent in the early season.

Watch Where the Water Flows

As the heat comes on strong, we often crank up our irrigation systems. Your lawn is the biggest water hog in the garden, if you want it to stay green all summer. Be careful not to overwater the plants adjacent to your lawn. Many of our native plants actually prefer dry to medium soil moisture and well drained soils. If your plant’s leaves are turning yellow, you may be overwatering them. Learn What Conditions Your Plants Prefer Different plants have different needs. For example, hydrangeas like water and Nepetas (catmints) prefer drier conditions. To make watering more efficient, pair plants that prefer the same conditions. AH

ANNAPOLIS HOME

Echinacea purpurea ‘Magnus’ is a reliable and easy to grow plant, and is known to attract butterflies. We leave these up all year, even after the flowers are done. The seed heads provide a food source for insects and birds throughout the season.

I am including this photo showing the same patch of Amsonia, (as pictured above) earlier in the summer. The light blue flowers of the Amsonia are blooming with creamy yellow Baptisia â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Carolina Moonlightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This show is short lived, as the Baptisia finish quickly and disappear behind the taller growing plants.

Painted Ladies

by the Sea

DISCOVER PEACE PIES & ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY IN CAPE MAY BY KYMBERLY TAYLOR The entire city of Cape May, New Jersey, is a National Historic District, with nearly 600 preserved Victorian buildings designed by notable architects such as Frank Furness, who is now recognized as one of our country’s greatest Victorian architects. High-rises are not permitted due to a strict zoning code. Adding to this visual feast are the beaches, dotted with old-fashioned life guard stands, each with its own Winslow-Homer style dory. Grand 19th-century mansions line Beach Avenue, the main thoroughfare, as if announcing with authority the town’s Victorian historic aesthetic. During its heyday, Cape May—established as the first official seaside resort in America in 1761—was the haunt of the rich and famous, including the likes of Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Arthur, Buchanan and Hayes. From Gothic Revival to Queen Anne, “painted ladies” come in an array of colors: pinks, blues, violets and

Vol. 9, No. 4 2018 55

two- and three-toned masterpieces, with mansard and hipped roofs, widows-walks, cupolas, turrets and wide-stepped fern-shaded porches. Cape May reveals how architecture can shape a town’s consciousness, how the visual performs and perpetuates its own preservation or demise. There is an unusual atmosphere here, much like historic Annapolis, as if everyone is in on something special that must be protected, even cherished (Since its listing as a National Historic Landmark District in 1965, Annapolis has remained one of the most intact and authentic colonial towns in the nation). The feeling in Cape May extends beyond the built environment. Even the ocean seemed more alive. Pods of dolphins frolicked daily beyond the breakwaters and gulls dove for fish, crashing into the sea yards from our beach chairs. Here, at least during the week, one can relax, mentally and even visually, creating an almost tangible joy. It’s the exact opposite of crass, chaotic, overbuilt Ocean City, Maryland—a model of poor beach town city planning. During our visit to Cape May, we stayed at La Mer Coastal Inn and dined at the famous Washington Inn and Mad Batter. We devoured their local oyster, “the salt flats,” and roamed Washington Street Mall, a leafy outdoor collection of shops, including Peace Pie, which serves nothing but ice-cream sandwiches. As we drove through side streets and neighborhoods, I kept waiting for the beauty to fade away into the average chaos of many American beach towns. However, it did not and this is why we will surely return. AH For more information about Cape May visit capemay.com.

E V E N I N G P R I M RO S E Evening primrose oil contains a high concentration of a fatty acid called GLA (gamma-linoleic acid), which helps retain elasticity in skin. In 1980 the oil became of interest to physicians due to its high content of GLA, which is essential to the proper functioning of each cell.

Lavender was used as an after-bath perfume by the Romans, who gave the herb its name from the Latin lavare, to wash.

Straight Up on Dining Out

OSTERIA

177

BY CHRISTINE FILLAT A cool, classy Italian lunch is a summertime delight. If you don’t have the luxury of traveling to Italy, why not have your oasis on Main Street in Annapolis? Osteria 177 will provide you with the setting and the flavors that will transport you across the Atlantic, if only for an hour or two. The clams and mussel appetizer is delicious. Small mussels and flavorful clams rest in a tomato sauce, delicately enlivened with hints of garlic, white wine, hot pepper and basil. We scoop up the sauce and slurp it out of the shell like barbarians. A crisp glass of pinot grigio is appropriate and called for. There’s a lot going on in the tuna carpaccio. There’s seared tuna and sliced avocado, strewn with a smattering of caramelized onion, pine nuts, and golden raisins. The whole lot sits on a bed of arugula. The dish is properly dressed with extra virgin olive oil and a balsamic glaze. It’s very clean tasting, but makes for a dispute with my dining partner, who thought the avocado upstaged the tuna. I have no qualms with this dish, other than that perhaps it could use a little seasoning. For someone who is watching what they’re eating, this selection alone could be the ideal lunch. The pastas we order are all properly served al dente. The linguine alla puttanesca is rich with a garlicy tomato

sauce littered with capers. The penne is glorious. The “Penne Alla Vodka Con Salmone Afumicato” is made of lumps of crab meat sitting atop a wonderful rose sauce with little bits of tomatoes, zucchini and shallots. Rose sauce is a favorite of mine, and the technique here is deft. But if there is any smoked salmon in this dish, I had a hard time finding it, althoughI did detect crab. Don’t get me wrong, this is a delicious bowl of pasta and the crab meat is fabulous. The mystery of the Penne Alla Vodka Con Salmone Afunicato gets solved with a visit to the dinner menu, where the penne with crab is offered. It’s odd that the server didn’t make us aware of this substitution. As it turns out, the crab dish was superior. So there was a happy ending. House-made gnocchi with a gorgonzola sauce is quite good. The gnocchi is light. And the gorgonzola is flavorful without being heavy. Lamb chops come to the table exactly rare with a rosemary and wine reduction. They are very tender and quite good. The asparagus and potato weren’t up to the beauty of the lamb. The asparagus had gone bad and the potato was some half-baked starchy reminder of days gone by. A lovely dish of sautéed mushrooms saved the day, however. We were a bit disappointed in the server. He was rather slow on the delivery. We felt ignored as we waited 15 minutes before we were able to order any food. And the place wasn’t all that busy. One hopes that this isn’t always the case here, particularly at lunch time. Osteria 177 has been on Main Street since 2006 and has been owned by Arturo Ottaviano all this time. The restaurant hasn’t changed much over the years and will eventually need a little face-lift. Overall, Osteria offers outstanding food and is just the type of fine restaurant one hopes to find on Main Street in Annapolis. AH
