Resurrection Manor

Resurrection Manor is a colonial brick house in Hollywood, Maryland, representing an early form of residential construction from the colonial period. The structure measured approximately 24 feet (7 meters) wide and 20.5 feet (6 meters) deep, with a steep-gabled wood shingle roof and a southern addition that expanded its width to about 40 feet (12 meters).

The property was built between 1660 and 1720 on a substantial land grant given to Thomas Cornwaleys, demonstrating early brick construction methods in the southern colonies. The site held National Historic Landmark status from 1970 until 2006, when the designation was withdrawn following the building's demolition.

The layout transformation from a single room to a hall-and-parlor design reflected the evolution of residential architecture in colonial Maryland during the late 17th century.

The property was located at 45270 Daniels Road in Hollywood and was designated as a National Historic Landmark. Visitors should note that the building no longer stands, as it was demolished several decades ago.

Thomas Cornwaleys specifically ordered bricks in 1660 for the construction, and the quantity found during archaeological examination matched precisely with historical records. This correspondence allowed historians to verify the exact timeframe and method of the original building.
