The Hammond–Harwood House is a historic house museum at 19 Maryland Avenue in Annapolis, Maryland, USA. Built in 1774, is one of the premier colonial houses remaining in America from the British colonial period (1607–1776). It is the only existing work of colonial academic architecture that was principally designed from a plate in Andrea Palladio's I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura (The Four Books of Architecture) (1570). The house was designed by the architect William Buckland in 1773–1774 for wealthy farmer Matthias Hammond of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It was modeled on the design of the Villa Pisani in Montagnana, Italy, as depicted in Book II, Chapter XIV of Palladio's work. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960, and is now managed by a non-profit organization as a museum.

  • The docent for the tour provided many facts about the family's history who lived there. Some original furniture.. Had Christmas decorations. An interesting design of decorations and the house.

  • Excellent tour led by Paul Murphy, an experienced docent who touted the history and furnishings of Hammond-Harwood as if it were his own. Well worth the 1-1/4 hours.

  • I went on a guided tour of the house. The tour guide was very informative and enthusiastic. There were many interesting historical items in the house. Many of the artifacts were original to the house, as well.
  • Great hidden gem of Annapolis! Knowledgeable tour guides, beautiful property, and the history is fascinating! Definitely deserving of a visit!
