Bowlingly (its original spelling was 'Bolingly' - the 'w' was only added in the mid 20th century), also known as Neale's Residence and The Ferry House, is a historic home located at Queenstown, Queen Anne's County, Maryland, United States. It is a large brick dwelling house constructed in 1733. The original house is a two-story brick structure that is seven bays long and one room deep, with flush brick chimneys at either end of the pitched gable roof. The house was pillaged by the British during the War of 1812. At dawn on August 13, 1813, a flotilla of English ships landed at Bowlingly's wharf. The British troops severely damaged the house before encountering the local militia.[2]
The property was named "Bolingly" in the original 1658 grant to immigrant James Bowling.[3]
Bowlingly was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
