William Buckland (1734-1774) was an architect who designed in colonial Maryland and Virginia. Born at Oxford, England, Buckland had spent seven years as an apprentice to his uncle, James Buckland, "Citizen and Joiner" of London. At 21, he was brought to Virginia as an indentured servant to Thomas Mason.[1] Among his repertoire are: Gunston Hall (c. 1755-1760) and Hammond-Harwood House (c. 1774).
