Features: The Philip Merrill Environmental Center
When the Chesapeake Bay Foundation outgrew their previous headquarters, they saw the need for a new facility as an opportunity to create an extraordinary building. The Merrill Center, an $11.4 million project, was built with the intention of fostering a new awareness of environmental design—and as a microcosm of the CBF and its efforts to save the Bay. Ann E. Dorbin takes us through a true “green” building on the Bay.

Annapolis History: The Maryland Inn
One of the most recognizable and beloved buildings in Historic Annapolis, the Maryland Inn has been a part of our landscape since 1772. It has operated as a tavern or hotel since that time, undergoing numerous additions and renovations. It has been a POW camp and the home of Charlie Byrd, a boardinghouse and a “Drummers Lot.” Deirdre Flanagan looks back at the history of a distinctive Annapolis building.
Bay Business: Mills Fine Wine & Spirits
Mills Fine Wine & Spirits is the oldest, continually-run, family owned business on Main Street. Hillard Donner’s father, Joseph, acquired the business from his old friend Billy Mills in 1946 and sealed the deal with a handshake. Donner has become, not only one of the most successful businessmen in Annapolis, but also one of the most generous. M.A. Cashman reminisces with Donner as he celebrates 60 years of business.
