United States Naval Academy

United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland

Founded in 1845 as a naval school, the United States Naval Academy trains future officers for command in the Naval Services. The campus, which attracts more than two million visitors each year, represents one of the most complete and stellar examples of Beaux-Arts architecture in the United States and was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1961. The Academy will complete a survey of its historic structures, including an inventory of the character-defining features and historic fabric for each building. This will be followed by the development of conservation guidelines and treatment strategies for all of the buildings, and in-depth treatment plans for two of the most important historic buildings.

United States Naval Academy received a Getty grant in 2006 for $190,000 to support campus heritage planning.
