About
A view of the Janet Leland Hoffman Building, 88 State Circle, Annapolis, Maryland.
This civil-war-era building sits on the circle surrounding the Maryland State House (legislative chambers.) It now houses the Baltimore City Liason Office, which looks out for the Baltimore City's interests in the state legislature. Ms. Hoffman was Baltmore's chief lobbyist for over 30 years.
As I looked into the history of this beautiful old house, I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of my local photographic heros, Marion E. Warren, located his studio here from 1959 to 1962 (see http://www.annapolisbooks.com/MeWarren/ )
Great shot, love old historical sites like this. Like the interplay of lines in this composition, good angle, to bad that window AC unit had to be there, though. Jim Gamble
