It encompasses three contributing buildings that are the remnants of a mid-18th century community. They are the two-story, five-bay, brick former miller's house known as "The Lindens;" a one-story, plank house with a steep gable roof; and a former grist mill measuring 80 feet by 100 feet. In 1998 and 1999, the Duck Creek Historical Society disassembled and moved the plank house to the rear yard of the Smyrna Museum Complex. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. References External links The Smyrna Museum Complex website
Dudley Spencer House

The Dudley Spencer House, also called Laurel, is a Frank Lloyd Wright–designed Usonian home in Wilmington, Delaware. Wright designed this home in 1956 and named it "Laurel". This house is of the hemicycle design, and is built of irregularly coursed fieldstone. This single story house has a flat roof with curvilinear extensions and windows under roof extensions. The interior fireplace and hearth serves as dominant structural and aesthetic element. Typical of Wright designs, the home successfully blends with the surrounding wooded environment. The Dudley Spencer house is private and not accessible to the public. The house was built by its first owner, Dudley Spencer, over a five-year period between 1956 and 1961. In a 1969 interview, Spencer said he personally designed and built the steel structures used in the house and enlisted the help of a local prison gang. Following the death of Spencer in 2012, the house was sold to its current owners in 2013. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

Elbow of Cross Ledge Light

The Elbow of Cross Ledge Light was a lighthouse on the north side of the ship channel in Delaware Bay in Cumberland County, New Jersey, on the east coast of the United States, west of Egg Island Point. It was destroyed by a ship collision in 1953 and replaced by a skeleton tower on the same foundation. History This light was built to replace the Cross Ledge Light, which stood somewhat to the south-east. A projection from Cross Ledge shoal forces a slight turn in the ship channel, and it was felt that light on this projection (the "elbow") would be more useful than the older light, which stood at some distance from the present channel. Construction of the new light was considerably delayed from the first congressional appropriation in 1904. Advertisement for bids had to be repeated as there were no submissions in the first round. In addition, the setting and completion of the caisson were interrupted by a severe storm in September 1907 which drowned one worker and set a scow adrift with an inspector who was not located and rescued for two days. The first light was not exhibited until February 1910. The light was struck glancing blows by passing ships several times over the years. A story on December 19, 1954, Philadelphia Evening Bulletin recalled that the keepers slept in life jackets for fear of having to abandon the station should it be struck. This precaution proved unnecessary, but only because damage from a storm in November 1951 had resulted in sufficiently serious damage that the light was automated, controlled by the keepers of the Miah Maull Shoal Light to the south. On October 20, 1953, however, the Isthmian Lines' ore freighter Steel Apprentice, navigating in thick fog and without operable radar, struck the light head-on, knocking most of the house into the bay. The coast guard removed the wreckage and erected a steel skeleton tower on the old foundation. This light remains in service. References

Ethel S. Roy House

The Ethel S. Roy House is a historic building identified simply as Vernacular Frame House when listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as part of the Red Lion Hundred Multiple Resource Area. The house was built c. 1868 by a former slave and was singled out for historic preservation in an effort to counteract the bias that only homes of the affluent are recognized as being historically significant. It represents a working man's home in a labor-intensive agricultural society and has had few alterations since it was built. Red Lion Hundred is an area of New Castle County, Delaware roughly equivalent in size and function to a township. It was settled in the seventeenth century, with the soil being ruined by intensive tobacco cultivation by 1800. A "peach boom" lasted from about 1830 to 1870 until a blight called "the yellows" destroyed the peach crops. Slavery provided labor in the area until the American Civil War. The Roy House was built soon after the Civil War by a former slave, whose granddaughter lived in the house until at least 1979. It is located just north of the unincorporated village of Saint Georges, Delaware, on a 150-foot square plot of land once owned by the locally prominent Sutton family. It is a wooden frame two-story, two-bay house with gabled roof which had a small enclosed front porch. Photographs taken in 1970 or 1979 show a simple building with wooden siding, a tin roof, six-over-six windows, and an interior chimney on the south end. The single decorative item appears to be a "gothic" attic window with a "pointed arch" above a rectangular window. A photograph from 2011 shows that the roof, siding and windows have been recently replaced, the porch opened up, and the chimney removed.

F. W. Woolworth Building (Wilmington, Delaware)

The F. W. Woolworth Company Building is a historic department store building located in downtown Wilmington, Delaware. History From 1940 to 1997, the F. W. Woolworth Company operated the store, this location being one of the last to close. The building then housed a Happy Harry's drug store and pharmacy for several years until that company was purchased by Walgreens in 2007. Walgreens continued to operate the acquired Happy Harry's stores, including the Market Street store, under the Happy Harry's name for some time. The building was purchased by a subsidiary of BPG Property Group in 2008 who now leases the location back to Walgreens and it's opened under the Walgreens name. Architecture Designed by company architect H. W. Stakes, the art deco building uses steel frame construction with a masonry curtain wall. The facade on the 2nd and 3rd stories displays alternating peach and cream vertical stripes of terra cotta tile with lotus motifs. The building has a grey medallion with a raised "W" on the chamfered corner on 9th and Market. When a Woolworth's store, the interior had two sales floors, the current ground floor and the bargain basement. The escalators to the basement floor are still visible in the store. In 1959, Woolworth added a third story which appeared in the original blue prints. BPG has plans to renovate the building's upper floors and to add an additional two stories to the building for use as apartments. Location The building stands at the shopping intersection of 9th and Market streets a block off Rodney Square at the heart of the central business district. Woolworths also operated another store four blocks away at 504 Market Street. That second location now houses the Delaware History Museum.

Fenwick Island Light

Fenwick Island Lighthouse is a lighthouse in Delaware, United States, on the Delaware/Maryland state line. The structure dates back to 1858 making it the oldest lighthouse in the state of Delaware. History In 1856, the United States Congress appropriated $25,000 for the Fenwick Island Lighthouse and on January 11, 1858 a ten-acre tract for the station was obtained from Mary C. Hall for only $50. The Fenwick Island Lighthouse was completed on December 29, 1858, but would not be lit until August 1, 1859. Construction was supervised by U.S. Army Captain William F. Raynolds. The lighthouse was built on an isolated peninsula in the southernmost portion of Delaware at the Maryland state line. It is 87 feet tall, brick, with a central cast iron spiral staircase, and equipped with a third-order Fresnel lens. It was automated in 1940. The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1978 and remained dark for several years. A public movement to save the lighthouse resulted in ownership of the lighthouse being transferred to the State of Delaware, and the lighthouse was relit in 1982. In 1997, after extensive fundraising efforts made it possible, the rapidly aging lighthouse underwent a full restoration. It was rededicated in July 1998. The lighthouse is owned by the state of Delaware and maintained by the private, non-profit New Friends of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse. The "isolated" lighthouse now stands surrounded by a neighborhood of houses and businesses. Visitors can enter the base to view a small museum and gift shop. The lighthouse, however, is not open for climbing. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Phare de Fenwick Island

Le phare du Fenwick Island (en anglais : Fenwick Island Light) est un phare côté situé à Fenwick Island, à la frontière du Maryland, dans le Comté de Sussex, Delaware. Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 13 août 1979 sous le n° 79000642. Historique En 1856, le Congrès des États-Unis a affecté 25.000 $ au phare de Fenwick Island et, le 11 janvier 1858, un terrain de 10 acres pour la station a été obtenu. Le phare a été achevé le 29 décembre 1858, mais ne sera pas allumé avant le 1er août 1859. La construction a été supervisée par le capitaine de l'armée américaine William F. Raynolds. Le phare a été construit sur une péninsule isolée dans la partie la plus méridionale du Delaware, à la limite de l'État du Maryland. Il est en brique, avec un escalier en colimaçon central en fonte et équipé d'une lentille de Fresnel du troisième ordre. Il a été automatisé en 1940. Le phare a été mis hors service en 1978 et est resté inactif pendant plusieurs années. Un mouvement public pour sauver le phare a entraîné le transfert de la propriété du phare à l'État du Delaware, et le phare a été relancé en 1982. En 1997, après de vastes efforts de collecte de fonds, le phare vieillissant rapidement a subi une pleine restauration. Il a été réactivé en juillet 1998. Le phare appartient à l'État du Delaware et est entretenu par le New Friends of the Fenwick Island Lighthouse , un organisme privé à but non lucratif. Le phare est maintenant entouré d'un quartier de maisons et d'entreprises. Les visiteurs peuvent entrer dans sa base pour voir un petit musée et une boutique de cadeaux. Le phare, cependant, n'est pas ouvert pour la montée vers la lanterne. Description Le phare est une tour cylindrique en brique de 26 m de haut, avec galerie et lanterne. La tour et blanche et la lanterne est noire. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 25 m, une longue lumière blanche de 7.5 secondes par période de 13 secondes.

Маяк острова Фенуик

Маяк острова Фенуик (англ. Fenwick Island Lighthouse) — действующий маяк, расположен в городе Фенуик-Айленд, штат Делавэр, США, на границе с Мэрилендом. Здание было построено в 1858 году и является старейшим маяком в штате Делавэр. История В 1856 году Конгресс США выделил 25 000 долларов на строительство маяка на острове Фенуик, и 11 января 1858 года участок площадью 4 гектара для строительства маяка был приобретён у Мэри К. Холл всего за 50 долларов. Строительство маяка на острове Фенуик было завершено 29 декабря 1858 года, но свет в нём зажгли только 1 августа 1859 года. Строительством руководил капитан армии США Уильям Ф. Рейнольдс. Маяк был построен на изолированном полуострове в самой южной части штата Делавэр, на границе со штатом Мэриленд. Маяк высотой 26,5 метра построен из кирпича, с центральной чугунной винтовой лестницей и линзой Френеля третьего порядка. Маяк был автоматизирован в 1940 году. Маяк был выведен из эксплуатации в 1978 году и несколько лет простоял неосвещённым. Благодаря общественному движению за сохранение маяка право собственности на него перешло к штату Делавэр, и в 1982 году маяк снова зажгли. В 1997 году после масштабных сборов средств быстро стареющий маяк был полностью отреставрирован. Маяк был торжественно открыт в июле 1998 года. Маяк принадлежит штату Делавэр и обслуживается частной некоммерческой организацией «Новые друзья маяка на острове Фенуик». «Изолированный» маяк теперь окружен жилыми домами и коммерческими зданиями. Посетители могут зайти на территорию маяка, где расположены небольшой музей и сувенирный магазин. Однако на сам маяк подниматься нельзя. Маяк был внесен в Национальный реестр исторических мест США в 1979 году. Галерея См. также Список маяков США Примечания

Форт-Дюпон (парк штата)

Форт-Дюпо́н (англ. Fort DuPont State Park) — парк штата (англ. State park) в американском штате Делавэр, расположенный в округе Нью-Касл непосредственно к югу от города Делавэр-Сити на берегу реки Делавэр. Парк площадью 1,31 км² (322 акра) был открыт для публики в 1992 году. Его главная особенность — обилие хорошо сохранившихся военных объектов конца XIX — первой половины XX веков, включая артиллерийские батареи, казармы и бункеры исторического форта Дюпон, названного в честь адмирала Сэмюэла Фрэнсиса Дюпона. Парк граничит со знаменитым судоходным каналом Чесапик — Делавэр и соединён пешеходной тропой с соседним парком Форт-Делавэр на острове Пи-Пэтч. История форта Первые земляные оборонительные укрепления были заложены на этом месте в 1863 году во время Гражданской войны в США для защиты Уилмингтона и Филадельфии от потенциальных атак флота Конфедерации. В 1890-х годах в рамках масштабной модернизации береговой обороны США (программы Эндикотта) форт был полностью перестроен в камне и бетоне. На его территории развернули мощные батареи, оснащённые крупнокалиберными скорострельными орудиями, включая 12-дюймовые береговые мортиры и скрывающиеся пушки на подёмных станках для борьбы с броненосцами противника. Форт выполнял функции базы береговой артиллерии во время Испано-американской и Первой мировой войн. Во время Второй мировой войны стационарные береговые пушки форта были признаны устаревшими из-за развития авиации и демонтированы. В этот период форт Дюпон использовался армией США как крупный мобилизационный центр, лагерь для интернированных немецких военнопленных, а также как военный госпиталь. В 1946 году военная база была официально закрыта и передана штату Делавэр. Современное состояние и рекреация После создания парка штата в 1992 году территория была благоустроена для активного отдыха, экологического туризма и исторических экскурсий. Для посетителей доступны: Исторические экскурсии: Открыты для осмотра бетонные казематы артиллерийских батарей конца XIX века (включая Батарею Родни и Батарею Гибсона), старый пороховой погреб, а также кирпичные административные здания гарнизона. Тропа реки Делавэр (River View Trail) — живописный пешеходный и велосипедный маршрут, проходящий вдоль береговой линии реки через прибрежные марши и леса, обеспечивающий отличный вид на речной рейд и проходящие грузовые суда. Рыбалка и пикники: В парке оборудованы специальные зоны для семейного отдыха с мангалами, а также общедоступная деревянная рыболовная пристань. Территория парка также является популярным местом для наблюдения за птицами (орнитологического туризма), так как прилегающие болотные угодья служат домом для сотен видов цапель, уток и белоголовых орланов.

Fourteen Foot Bank Light

p4 Fourteen Foot Bank Light ist ein Leuchtturm an der Ostküste der Vereinigten Staaten. Lage Das Bauwerk befindet sich in der Delaware Bay nahe der Bowers Beach im Kent County, Delaware, an der Südspitze der Joe-Flogger-Untiefe. Das Bauwerk ist im Meeresgrund des Nordatlantik eingelassen. Das Leuchtfeuer befindet sich ca. 18 km von der Küste entfernt; daher ist es nicht mit bloßem Auge von Land sichtbar. Bauwerk Das Bauwerk wurde zwischen 1885 und 1886 erbaut. Es war der erste Leuchtturm, der mittels eines pneumatischen Senkkastens aus Holz erbaut wurde. Dieses Bauteil wurde 7 Meter unter Grund eingegraben und mit 1500 m³ Beton verfüllt; es dient als Fundament. Der Leuchtturm, der eher aussieht wie ein Haus, wurde nach Plänen von H.A. Ramsay and Son (Baltimore) erbaut. Ingenieure waren Anderson and Barr. Der Generalunternehmer war D.P. Heap. Die Baukosten betrugen 125,000 US$. Der reguläre Betrieb wurde am 10. April 1887 aufgenommen. Das Leuchtfeuer befindet sich ca. 18 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel. Die ursprüngliche Fresnel-Linse 4. Ordnung wurde 1997 durch eine mit Sonnenenergie betriebene VRB-25 ersetzt. Der Leuchtturm ist seit 27. März 1989 im National Register of Historic Places gelistet.

Fourteen Foot Bank Light

Fourteen Foot Bank Light is a lighthouse in the Delaware Bay near Bowers Beach, Delaware. Built in 1885–1886 at the south end of Joe Flogger Shoal, it was the first lighthouse to be built using a pneumatic caisson. The wooden caisson structure was excavated to a depth of 23 feet (7.0 m) below the seabed, then filled with 2,000 cubic yards (1,500 m3) of concrete. A cast-iron base was meanwhile erected on the caisson as it sank. A house-like structure was built on top of the base, designed by H.A. Ramsay and Son of Baltimore. Engineers for the structure were Anderson and Barr, and the contractor was D.P. Heap. The light is 11 miles (18 km) offshore, and therefore not visible from land. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. References External links Media related to Fourteen Foot Bank Light at Wikimedia Commons
