The Wye River plantation, also known as Wye Hall, was the Eastern Shore of Maryland home of William Paca, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The original house was built in 1765 and extensively renovated in 1790 by John Paca, with Joseph Clark as architect, at a cost of 20,000 dollars. William Paca gained the property in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, through his wife Mary Chew, and is buried in the family cemetery there; the residence burned down in 1879. A later house, also called Wye Hall, was built on the site of the Paca estate in the 1930s and was purchased in 1999 by Leland C. Brendsel.
