Book Description
The rich history of Havre de Grace, Maryland, the famous "Harbor of Hope" on the Chesapeake Bay, is documented in 265 postcard images, all from the early 20th century. The cards depict well-known images such as the famous "double-decker bridge," the Concord Point Lighthouse, and boating scenes for which the city is known. Some 800 buildings in styles ranging from stately Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne styles to Victorian stone mansions are located in this District that is on the National Register. A nostalgic trip for past and current residents and an important architectural guide for historians and preservationists.
