Perfect Symmetry in Annapolis

By Linda Tancs

The Hammond-Harwood House is a five part Anglo-Palladian mansion in Annapolis, Maryland, that features some of the best woodcarving and plasterwork in America. Prized for symmetry and proportion rarely found in 18th-century structures, the National Historic Landmark built in 1774 is the final work of architect William Buckland. Architecture buffs will enjoy the in-depth, two-hour tour. That’s in addition to the regular guided tour of the house and its collections of early American fine and decorative arts, the garden, and old kitchen.
