Annapolis, Maryland's capital and home of the Naval Academy, has one of the largest collections of 1700s and 1800s buildings in the country in its historic district, plus waterfront neighborhoods such as Eastport and later suburbs along the Severn and South rivers. Tidal flooding near City Dock and hurricane surge are recurring concerns.
Historic homes may have wiring from several eras, including knob-and-tube, and changes visible from the street are reviewed by the historic preservation commission. Low-lying properties near the water face flooding that can reach basement panels and outdoor equipment.
