A Brief History of Hollywood, Maryland

Sotterly Plantation, Hollywood, Maryland

1710, James Bowles, son of a wealthy London tobacco merchant and member of Maryland's Lower House of the Assembly, purchased an 890 acre tract that would become Sotterley Plantation. In 1717, he began building his house which today stands as an unique record of a method of construction called post-in-ground architecture, once common in the Tidewater regions.

Two years after the death of Squire Bowles in 1727, his young widow, Rebecca, married George Plater II. Over the years, the Plater family converted the simple residence into a charming 18th-century manor house, which they named after their ancestral home, Sotterley Hall, in Suffolk, England. It was under George Plater III, sixth governor of Maryland, that the house reached its distinctive form which was much admired by George Washington, and perhaps served as a model for Mount Vernon. The Chinese Chippendale staircase and the shell alcoves in the drawing room, both carved by Richard Boulton, then an indentured servant, are considered among the finest examples of 18th-century American woodwork.
