Tour Annapolis Map

The Hammond-Harwood House is the architectural masterpiece of renowned designer and joiner, William Buckland. Built in 1774 for patriot Mathias Hammond, the house epitomizes the sophisticated lifestyle of colonial Annapolis. With its ornately carved mouldings, this house is considered the finest example of five-part Georgian architecture in colonial America, featuring formal rooms with mid 18^th and early 19^th century furnishings and fine arts. The fine collections include portraits by the Peale family. A public museum since 1926, the Hammond-Harwood House Association maintains the house and grounds.
