==Biography== Bolling was born in [[Hot Springs, Arkansas]], and was a resident of [[Greenwich, Connecticut]], from 1911 until 1915. In 1912, he commissioned [[Carrère and Hastings]], the architects of the New York Public Library, to build an estate for him at 137 Doubling Road in Greenwich that he later named ''Greyledge''. Greyledge was constructed between 1912 and 1914. Greyledge was an English-style manor situated on an estate that sprawls from 137 Doubling Road to Boulder Brook. In addition to a sitting room, family room, library and thirteen fireplaces, the estate was also home to a shooting gallery. Upon completion in 1914 Colonel Raynal Bolling and Anna Tucker Phillips Bolling moved in to Greyledge with their family of four daughters and one son. However, Bolling spent virtually no time enjoying his family and new home. In November 1915, Bolling, then a First Lieutenant in the Air Force, was appointed to the New York National Guard. The estate was later razed, in 2007, by its current owner despite a public outcry.<ref>{{cite news | last =Shishkin| first =Phillip| date =April 12, 2008 | url= https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB120795565414109159 | title = Out With the Old: Storied Mansions Fall in Greenwich| newspaper = Wall Street Journal| access-date=30 October 2012 }}</ref> He attended the [[William Penn Charter School|Penn Charter School]] in [[Philadelphia]], graduating in 1896.
