Hammond-Harwood House

Cultural Landscape Study

Annapolis Landscape Architects (ALA) led the historic landscape context mapping and analysis for the Hammond-Harwood House Cultural Landscape Study.  

ALA developed the following:

• Historic Context – series of annotated historic maps,
• Landscape Morphology – 1825, 1897, 1913, & 2018,
• Geometric Analysis & View Corridor,
• Horizontal Bands of Use,
• Periods of Landscape Significance,
• Current Conditions Assessment, and
• Preservation Treatment Plan.

Hammond-Harwood House, a 1774 Anglo-Palladian historic house museum and garden in downtown Annapolis, is a leading destination for Annapolis visitors seeking intact colonial-era house and garden museums open to the public.

Hammond-Harwood House is a significant property that actively contributes to the preservation tradition in Annapolis. The Cultural Landscape Study is designed to spur further research of historic landscape and streetscape preservation throughout the Annapolis Historic District. The Cultural Landscape Study will be the basis for review by the Annapolis Historic Preservation Commission when reviewing future proposed improvements to the historic and cultural landscape as it relates to the Hammond-Harwood House.
