Description of Property and Eligibility DeterminaJion: (Use continuation sheet if necessary and attach map and photo)
Dent's Palace is located down a long private drive, entered from the east side of Trinity Chmch Road. just south of Md. Route 6. Thought to be constructed in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, the architectlll'e has a prmounced Federal styling. Physical and historical evidence suggests the three-part telescoping (styled) house was constructed all at this time. The large, (two and one-half story) brick structlll'e is laid in common bond throughout. The house retains much of its original character and architectural integrity. The level of detail in the construction including wooden dormers that have arched upper sash with sophisticated detailing and carved trim work is remarkable. The exterior boasts two flush gable chimneys at the west end and one on the east. The exterior has been ahered with an insensitive masonry pointing work at the area below the two story monumental pocch construction. This later porch (believed to date from the 1960s) also detracts from the building's architectlll'al significance. The interior of the main block includes a side stair hall and double parlor floor plan. The center section contains the dining room. There is some debate over the generations of fine woodworking at the house, appearing to be two generations probably close in time to the original construction. The exterior and interioc woodwork is finely crafted and is in good condition. The property is recommended as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places wider Criterioo C. The Property may also be considered eligible for listing on the NR under Criterion B, but research was not undertaken to confirm that possibility. The property was not considered eligible under Criterion A:, and was not evaluated fur Criterion D.

CHAS-40 DENT'S PALACE Bryan town Private
late 18th century
A three-part stepped house of Federal styling, Dent's Palace is thought to have been built by Captain Hezekiah Dent (1747-1792) in about 1785. The house is of common bond brick construction and there is substantial physical and historical evidence to support a recent determination that, contrary to traditional belief, all three parts of the house were built at the same time.
The property was patented in 1754 by Hatch Dent, a grandson of Captain John Dent, Gent., who arrived in Maryland in about 1658. Hatch Dent died in 1781 and the probate records of his modest estate indicate that although he refers to Dent's Palace as his dwelling plantation, the existing house had not yet been built. Hezekiah Dent, on the other hand, was significantly more prosperous, substantially increasing the improvements and value of the estate left to him by his father, including Dent's Palace. His sizeable personal estate indicates that he was, at the time of his death, living in a fairly large and well furnished house, possibly the one known today as Dent's Palace. Hezekiah Dent was an active member of Trinity Church in nearby Newport. In 1777 he was commissioned a full lieutenant in Captain McPherson's Company of the Lower Battalion of the Charles County Militia and, in 1779, was promoted to Captain.
Contrary to popular belief, Dent's Palace is not a true "telescoping" house since the south, front walls of all three sections are flush to one another. Among its notable features are unusually sophisticated pedimented dormers with twisted rope moldings, arched upper sash and fluted pilasters. Modern additions include a two-story porch on the south front of the main block.

DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORIGINAL (IF KNOWN) PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Approached by a long private drive entered from the east side of Md. Rte. 232 approximately two-tenths of a mile south of the intersection of Rte's. 232 and 6, Dent's Palace is the last remaining of the many early homes of this once prominent family. An examination of the existing three-part, Federal style house, however, reveals it to be of a later construction date than is traditionally believed.
The architecture of Dent's Palace is distinctly Federal and is very similar to that of Hard Bargain (CHAS-41) and other stepped or telescoping houses found throughout the three Southern Maryland counties. In addition, rather than being built in different stages, as is commonly stated, the house was definitely built all at one time. Existing interior and exterior features indicate that it was probably built in the latter part of the 18th century, an opinion supported by historical evidence.
The largest, west end section of the house, the main block, is of two-story height, three bays in width on both side elevations. At the west end of the gable roof are two flush gable chimneys, with a single chimney at the east end. The house is of common bond brick throughout and has splayed flat arches over the windows and doors. The main block and one and one-half story, two bay center section both have two pedimented dormers on the south side of the house, apparently the original front. These dormers are unusually sophisticated in their detailing, having arched upper sash with twisted rope moldings and fluted pilasters, and are in rather sharp contrast with the rather severe architecture of the house. They do, however, appear to be original and are of a design appropriate to the date and architecture of the house. It is interesting to note that the two dormers of the center section extend down into the front eave cornice, which like the front cornices of the main block and east end kitchen, is decorated with closely spaced "<lentils". Additional exterior features of the house include a transomed rear door on the main block, 9-over-6 first floor sash, and a small foliated half-round window in the west gable of the main block. The third and smallest section of the house was and continues to be used as a kitchen though it has been modernized on the interior. It is two bays wide on the south side and has a large flush gable chimney at the east end. It should be noted that Dent's Palace, despite all that has been written about it, is not a true telescoping house since the south wall of all three sections are flush to one another, instead of set back to give the illusion from the end of the building that each section could be pushed back into the next corresponding larger section. At Dent's Palace, as with many other examples of this building type, the

Unfortunate additions that detract from the integrity of the house include a two-story open porch with flat roof and square posts on the south front that replaced an earlier though not original one-story porch of more acceptable architecture, and a glass enclosed "sun room" addition to the north side of the kitchen.
The first floor interior of the main block includes a side stair hall and double parlor floor plan. The center section contains the dining room. The woodwork throughout appears to be later stylistically and not nearly as sophisticated as the dormers. However, it is of basic Federal styling, with molded trim and "bulls eyes" framing the doors and windows, and large mantels that employ a combination of early and late Federal details. Connecting the two first floor drawing rooms is a large doorway framing two, double leafed paneled doors. Because of the descrepancy between the two types of woodwork, and assuming that the dormers are original, it is possible that the interior of the house was renovated a decade or so following its actual construction date.
