The story

By Victoria Jackson, Editor in Chief Updated

Annapolis Park Historic District opened in 1953, through the Depression, the war years and the postwar move to the suburbs.

It was built in the Modern Movement style, and it still reads that way from the sidewalk.

It joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
