Hammond–Harwood House, Colonial mansion in Annapolis, United States.

The Hammond-Harwood House features a five-part brick structure with Ionic columns, a central block, two end wings, and connecting sections with detailed window designs.

Built in 1774 for Matthias Hammond, the house exemplifies colonial architecture based on Andrea Palladio's design principles from his 1570 architectural publication.

The interior rooms display Maryland cabinetmakers' craftsmanship through period furniture, decorative arts, and formal spaces arranged according to eighteenth-century social standards.

The Hammond-Harwood House Association manages guided tours through formal rooms, gardens, and exhibitions that explain colonial life patterns in Maryland.

William Buckland's final architectural creation remains the single residence directly derived from Villa Pisani illustrations in Palladio's Four Books of Architecture.
