Naval Square, Philadelphia
Naval Square is a gated community within the Graduate Hospital neighborhood of Philadelphia that served as the first United States Naval Academy from 1834 to 1845, when the Naval Academy formed in Annapolis. It continued as a retirement home for sailors and marines and was called the Naval Home until 1976, when the facility was relocated to Mississippi.
Annapolis High School (Maryland)
Founded in 1896, Annapolis High was the first public high school to open in Anne Arundel County and among the first in the state of Maryland. Though nearby Arundel High School was founded earlier in 1854, it was run as a private school until 1926. The school originally occupied a brick building in historic, downtown Annapolis, but the post-World War I population surge led to the construction of a new school that stood on the outskirts of downtown Annapolis within a short distance from Wiley H. Bates "Colored" High School. In the mid-1960s — more than a decade after the Supreme Court's ruling in "Brown v. Board of Education" — Annapolis High and Bates High were desegregated. Soon thereafter, the Wiley H. Bates High School was renamed/repurposed into Annapolis Middle School for grades 9 and 10 in 1966-67, and then into Bates Junior High School for grades 7 to 9 in 1968. The original Wiley H. Bates High School building at 1101 Smithville Street served as a public school until early 1981 when Bates Junior High School moved to the former Annapolis Senior High School campus. In 1979, Annapolis High moved to its present location on Riva Road outside the city limits. Its former buildings now house Bates (which has been a grades 6 to 8 middle school since 1989) and the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts.
