Oakland Manor, Federal stone manor house in Columbia, Maryland.
The manor spans three levels of entertainment space with a main ballroom, enclosed veranda, and upper-level rooms for various gatherings.
Charles Sterrett Ridgely commissioned the construction of Oakland Manor in 1810, completing the residence and a 100-foot stone carriage house in 1811.
The property transformed from a slave plantation during the Civil War to a modern venue that now houses cultural events and an African Art Museum.
The main level ballroom accommodates 80 guests for banquets, while outdoor tented events on the back lawn can host up to 180 people.
The Bishop's Garden features a stone-walled ceremony area beneath a large magnolia tree, creating an enclosed space for outdoor gatherings.
