MARYLAND AVENUE AT KING GEORGE STREET ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND
The Hammond-Harwood House was built in 1774 by Matthias Hammond, a Maryland patriot deeply involved in the public affairs of his day. A man of wealth, education and spirit, he wished his house to occupy a proud place among the distinguished buildings already lending character and urbanity to the colonial city of Annapolis. William Eddis, Crown Surveyor of the Customs, said of the city in 1769,-"there are few towns of the same size, in any part of the British dominions, that can boast a more polished society."
