The five-part Georgian mansion at 186 Prince George Street was built in the 1760s for William Paca, one of Maryland’s four Signers of the Declaration of Independence and the state’s third Governor. In the early 1900s, it became the entrance to Carvel Hall Hotel, a popular gathering place for the Maryland legislature and visitors to the nearby Naval Academy. In 1965, Historic Annapolis and the State of Maryland partnered to save the house from demolition and restored the house and rear garden to its colonial appearance. Today, the Paca House and Garden is recognized as one of the finest 18th-century homes in the country and a National Historic Landmark.
