Home in city keeps family tradition alive

Tracing his ancestry to the early days of Annapolis, Brice Worthington wanted to continue his family's ties to the community by staying in the city.

With this in mind, he and his wife, Donna, have taken over the home that was bought in 1941 by his grandparents, the late Lucille and T. Carroll Worthington, on Franklin street in the Murray Hill section of the city.

Since buying the home in 1999 from his grandparents' estate, the Worthingtons have undertaken an extensive remodeling project, which they recently completed with the addition of a new kitchen.

The Brice house will be one of several private homes in Annapolis'...
