Annapolis: Maryland State House - Washington Resigning His Commission Washington Resigning His Commission, hanging in the Grand Staircase at the Maryland State House, was painted by Edwin White in 1858. This monumental painting depicts the scene in the Old Senate Chamber on December 23, 1783, when General George Washington resigned his commission as Commander-in-Chief of the victorious Continental Army. White took some liberties in depicting those present at the ceremony, including Martha Washington and her niece who were actually at the Washington home in Mount Vernon.

The Maryland State House, located inside State Circle, is the oldest U.S. state capitol in continuous legislative use, and houses the Maryland General Assembly, plus the offices of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The current two-story brick building, the third statehouse on the site, was constructed from 1772 to 1797 to the Georgian style design of Joseph Horatio Anderson and features the largest wooden dome in the United States constructed without nails. An black and gold Italian marble annex was constructed between 1902 and 1906, replacing an earlier annex, under the supervision of Baltimore architects Baldwin &amp; Pennington.

From November 1783 to August 1784, Annapolis was the capital of the United States, and the Congress of Confederation, also known as the Continental Congress, met in the Maryland State House.

Dad as New Dad: Pure Joy One of many snapshots of old family photos I digitized the lazy way (with my mobile phone camera). As yesterday was the day my brother David passed away (1987) I am compelled to share this joyful photo of my Dad with his first child, likely in 1953 or 1954.
