The Wye River plantation, or Wye Hall was the Eastern Shore of Maryland home of William Paca,[1] constructed in 1765, and extensively renovated in 1790 by John Paca, with Joseph Clark as architect, at a cost of $20,000.[2][3] He gained ownership of the property in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, through his wife, Mary Chew.[4] John Beale Bordley and Margaret Chew, inherited the other half of Wye Island.
William Paca is buried at the family cemetery there. The Paca residence burned down in 1879.[5][6] The University of Maryland, College Park conducted archeological work there.[7]
Wye Hall was built in the 1930s on the site of the estate of William Paca. In 1999, it was purchased by Leland C. Brendsel.[8] A mechanics lien was filed for work done there.[5] Graham Landscape Architecture did work there.[9]
