You've officially grabbed my attention. I look forward to seeing anything else you have in the works on this area. Oh, and the composition in almost every shot was great and the subject matter was incredibly varied and balanced. Great thread

EDIT: I did some research and found out that this was the first city founded by the English in America (1497). Huh. How many of the buildings from back then are preserved?
Not much of anything remains from that time period. The city itself has been destroyed by fire numerous times, most notably in 1892. As well, I believe the city was destroyed several times by the French.
