Many of the buildings are capped by corbelled brickwork, stamped metal cornices, stained glass, turrets and decorative signs. The town's residential areas also preserve nearly two centuries of architectural heritage from the Federal, Victorian and American schools of architecture. Many of Berlin's churches were built in the early 1900's and originated from parishes established locally in the 18th and 19th centuries. The beauty of these historic homes and structures is enhanced by their natural surroundings. Magnolias, sycamores, tulip poplars, bald cypress and ginko trees add to the stately beauty of Berlin's peaceful streets.
Berlin has all the special character of the southern Eastern Shore.
People are friendly and the pace of life is easy.
