    So the second one would be B appositive? Because its separated with commas and it gives additional information.

    It would really have helped if you had numbered these. Is this the second one? 
<i>"The exterior walls exposed to the ocean's unrelenting salt spray,"
the Pilgrims' homes turned a beautiful silver-gray. </i>

    That's a very poorly written sentence. I truly don't know what to make of it as it is! Better construction would be this:
Because the exterior walls were exposed to the ocean's unrelenting salt spray, the Pilgrims' homes turned a beautiful silver-gray.
Then you'd have an introductory adverbial clause plus the main clause. But I really don't know what to say about it as it's written.
