Whitehall, 1915 Whitehall Rd, Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, MD
Constructed in 1765 for Horatio Sharpe, Governor of Maryland, Whitehall is one of America`s foremost Georgian structures. Hugh Morrison called it "one of the most interesting and important houses of the eighteenth century." Overlooking the Chesapeake and enhanced on the landside by a series of ha-ha`s, Whitehall has a giant two story pedimented entrance portico supported by four fluted columns with Corinthian capitals. The design of the rich architectural detail has been attributed to the young William Buckland.
