About this property

Cool Hollow House is an early and intact nineteenth century Greek Revival/ Federal transitional style home located in Washington County, Maryland on the National Road. The main house c.1823, and its earlier dependencies sit on land that was part of several colonial land patents. These patents were "Macklefish's Ridge" c.1738, "Chaney's Delight" c.1738, "Strife" c.1740, "Cadiz" c.1759 after the city in Spain. "Stull's Forest" c.1761, and "Chaney's Chance" c.1762. The majority of the land patents were owned by the prominent Chaney family and abut the Antietam Creek. Proof of the importance of this location along the National Road is provided by the fact that the early patents of "Macklefish's Ridge" and "Chaney's Delight" are only predated by 16 of the more than 2250 other patents in this area of the state. The farm was purchased in 1809 by Benjamin Emmert, and after a resurvey in 1821 the patent was named "Emmert's Home". The land and home belonged to Benjamin Emmert's heirs for more than a century, until 1910 when the property left the family. The property was listed on the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP) in 1978 and added to the National Register of Historic Places December 17, 2018.
