Whitehall, Colonial plantation in Anne Arundel County, United States.

The Georgian mansion stretches across one room deep with a temple portico supported by Corinthian columns facing Whitehall Creek near Chesapeake Bay.

Governor Horatio Sharpe commissioned this residence in 1764, developing an 814-acre estate with gardens, parks, and an entrance court for his intended bride.

The interior displays detailed woodwork attributed to William Buckland, representing the fine craftsmanship standards of pre-Revolutionary American architecture.

The property maintains its 1787 appearance through preservation efforts, allowing visitors to experience the architectural elements of colonial Maryland.

Among all pre-Revolutionary houses in the original thirteen colonies, Whitehall stands as one of only two residences featuring a complete temple portico.
