Historic house in Maryland, United States
The Wye River plantation, or "Wye Hall" was the Eastern Shore of Maryland home of William Paca, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, constructed in 1765, and extensively renovated in 1790 by John Paca, with Joseph Clark as architect, at a cost of $20,000. He gained ownership of the property in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, through his wife, Mary Chew. 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. The University of Maryland, College Park conducted archeological work there.
"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. A mechanic's lien was filed for work done there.
