Bowlingly, building in Maryland, United States
Bowlingly is a brick house built around 1733 in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, showcasing Maryland Georgian architecture. The structure features two and a half stories in an L-shape with a central hall, curved-topped windows and doors on the first floor, decorative string coursing, and later additions made between 1817 and 1820.
The house was built in 1733 as a notable example of colonial architecture and later received additions between 1817 and 1820. It gained further historical prominence when British forces attacked the estate in August 1813 during the War of 1812.
The property sits in rural surroundings with open fields and woodland, easily accessible by car from nearby towns. It is often included in heritage tour routes, and local guides provide context about the site's role in the region's farming history.
The completion date of 1733 is inscribed in glazed bricks within the roof gable, a rare detail that demonstrates the craftsmanship and precision of the era. This embedded dating method on the structure itself is an uncommon feature that many visitors overlook on first viewing.
