Aiken's Tavern Historic District

Aiken's Tavern Historic District is a historic district in New Castle County, Delaware, comprising the historic center of the village of Glasgow. The district includes the site of Aiken's Tavern, an important landmark at the time of the American Revolutionary War. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Location The district is located just west of the intersection of U.S. Route 40 and Delaware Route 896. Its boundaries encompass a 300-yard (270 m) stretch of Glasgow Avenue, mostly to the north of U.S. 40 but also including the Mechanic's Row block in the median of the highway. History The village of Glasgow developed at what was and still is an important crossroads in Pencader Hundred. The area was initially settled as part of the 30,000-acre (12,000 ha) Welsh Tract granted to a group of settlers from Wales in 1701, and a Presbyterian church was established shortly thereafter. A tavern was also built and became known as Aiken's Tavern after one of its owners. During the American Revolution, British forces under William Howe occupied the village following the September 1777 Battle of Cooch's Bridge, setting up their headquarters in the tavern and establishing a temporary field hospital at Pencader Church. The crossroads grew increasingly busy after the completion of the New Castle and Frenchtown Turnpike (since replaced by U.S. Route 40) in 1818, and many of the surviving buildings in the historic district date from approximately the same era. The tavern itself was demolished in 1832. Inventory Named contributing properties in the district include Pencader Presbyterian Church, built on the site of an earlier church building in 1852, and an adjacent frame house The Middleton House, built sometime before 1818, and a nearby frame shop building Mechanic's Row, a block of houses built around 1810 A three-story brick house listed as the "Manse" (c. 1850) Two other contributing properties, Glasgow Methodist Church and a second frame house located near Pencader Church, are no longer standing.

Allee House (Dutch Neck Crossroads, Delaware)

The Allee House is a historic home located on the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, near Dutch Neck Crossroads, overlooking the fields and marshes of Kent County, Delaware. It is believed to have been built in about 1753 by Abraham Allee, Sr., son of John Allee, who purchased the land in 1706 and 1711. The Allees were descended from French Huguenots who moved to New Jersey in 1680, then settled in Delaware. The original spelling of the Allee surname is d'Ailly. Abraham Allee served as a member of the Assembly in 1726, was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1738, and was Chief Ranger for the county in 1749. The Allee House is one of the best preserved examples of an early brick farmhouse in Delaware. It is in the English Queen Anne style and features fine brickwork laid in Flemish bond with a few glazed header bricks. The interior of the house is distinguished by the handsome wood paneling of the parlor. The cornice in this room has a dentil course that is particularly well formed, and the splendid panels of the chimney breast are joined on either side by two striking recessed, arched china closets. These closets have paneled doors and graduated butterfly shelves against a barrel back with a fluted center post. Over the past 40 years, the house's walls and support beams have become damaged and weakened by water. Tours of the Allee House have been discontinued due to unsafe conditions related to sagging floors and chimney damage. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and is administered as part of Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. References
Amstel House

Amstel House, also known as Dr. Finney House, is a preserved building in New Castle, Delaware, United States, built in the 1730s. The decline of New Castle in the 19th century meant that many owners of homes could no longer afford to make changes to them, which is why so many buildings were preserved. That changed, however, when New Castle was "rediscovered" during the Colonial Revival phase of the 1920s and 1930s and old buildings began to be torn down and replaced by new construction. In 1931, to protect New Castle's heritage, a group of concerned citizens raised funds to buy the Amstel House, which faced an uncertain fate. This was the town's first formal preservation effort. Shortly thereafter the group evolved into the New Castle Historical Society which, in the 75 years that have followed, has worked closely with the city and other civic organizations to save, preserve and restore many of the town's historic architectural treasures. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.

Anderson House (Newark, Delaware)

The Anderson House is an historic farmhouse in Newark, Delaware. The original stone section of the house dates to 1806, making it one of the city's oldest homes. History The original stone house was built in 1806 by James Anderson and his wife. In 1818, Henry Whitely, a businessman and legislator, bought the house and 100 acres of land. He continued to acquire nearby land, and in 1840, sold the house and 263 acres of land to James S. Martin. In 1841, Martin built a Greek Revival mansion next door to the Anderson House and named the resulting estate Deer Park Farm. Martin, who also built the Deer Park Hotel in downtown Newark, sold it in 1862. The Anderson House remained part of the Deer Park Farm complex until the properties were split around 1909. At some point during this time a two-bay brick addition was constructed on the east side of the house, extending it to the present five-bay block. During the 1920s and 1930s most of the farmland surrounding the Anderson House was covered by suburban growth. The owner of the house during this period was William F. Wilson, who added a neoclassical portico, dormers, and a rear wing to the building. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Architecture The Anderson House is a two-and-a-half-story, gable-roofed building with a five-bay facade. The three westernmost bays make up the original portion of the building, with irregularly coursed fieldstone walls which are 18 inches (46 cm) thick. The two-bay extension on the east side was added at a later date and features exterior walls of stuccoed brick rather than stone. Dormers, gable-end porches, and a portico with Doric columns were added to the house in the early 20th century. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Newark, Delaware References

Ashland Covered Bridge

Ashland Covered Bridge, also known as Ashland Bridge or Barley Mill Road Covered Bridge, is a covered bridge over Red Clay Creek on Barley Mill Road (near the junction of Brackenville Road) in Ashland in New Castle County, Delaware. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Style It is a Town lattice truss bridge following a design of Ithiel Town, built about 1860. It is almost identical to the Wooddale Bridge. It is believed to be about 12 feet (3.7 meters) long and adjoins the Ashland Nature Center. History In 1965, when it was documented in the Historic American Engineering Record survey, it was one of the last three surviving covered bridges in the state of Delaware. The bridge has been closed for repairs several times in the 2010s. In 2014 and 2011, oversized trucks caused damage to the bridge after ignoring signage and attempting to cross, and in 2017 a snow plow crash caused additional damage. In 2021, it was closed for temporary repairs after debris and high creek levels due to Hurricane Ida caused damage to the covered portion of the span.

Aspendale (Kenton)

Aspendale is a historic house and plantation property on Delaware Route 300 west of Kenton, Kent County, Delaware, United States. The main house, built 1771–73, has been under a single family's ownership since construction and is a rare, well-preserved example of a Georgian "Quaker plan" house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970. Description and history Aspendale is located about 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Kenton, on the north side of Delaware Route 300. The property is over 200 acres (81 ha) in size, consisting of fields and woodlands roughly bisected by the road. The main house is set near the road, surrounded by landscaping. It is a modest 2+1⁄2-story brick structure with a gabled roof and end chimneys joined by curtain walls. A single-story gable-roofed wood-frame addition extends to one side. The front and rear of the main block consist of brick laid in a Flemish bond, while the ends are laid in a common bond. The main facade is three bays wide, with a symmetrical arrangement of sash windows around a center entrance. In a traditional Delaware pattern, the ground-floor windows have paneled shutters, while the upper-level windows have louvered shutters. The interior has a rare example of a "Quaker plan", with a sizeable front-to-back parlor on the east side and a study and living room separated by a hall on the west side. These rooms all exhibit original woodwork and other features. The land on which the house stands was deeded in 1770 to Charles Numbers and was (as of its landmark designation in 1970) still in the hands of Numbers' descendants. The house was built between 1771 and 1773. The large parlor was subdivided with partitions in the 19th century, and a Victorian porch was added; both elements were reversed during a restoration of the property in the 1960s.

Bancroft Mills

Bancroft Mills est un complexe de moulins abandonnés siégeant le long de la rivière Brandywine à Wilmington (Delaware), aux États-Unis. C'est le site de l'un des plus anciens et des plus fameux moulins situé près de Wilmington. Ce fut le complexe le plus vaste et ayant fonctionné le plus longtemps sur la rivière Brandywine. Histoire Gilpin Mills fut ouvert sur ce site en 1787 et fut le premier moulin à papier du Delaware. Bancroft Mills fut ouvert en 1831 par Joseph Bancroft, un immigrant anglais qui avait travaillé dans l'industrie textile dans les Midlands. Le moulin fut reconstruit le long de l'eau en 1839 et fut plusieurs fois agrandi, notamment en 1895. Indépendamment, Riddle Mills fut construit en 1845, sur un terrain voisin et grossit rapidement. Les moulins furent consolidés en 1895 par la société de famille Bancroft, qui fut rapidement transformé en une coopérative. En 1880, à environ la moitié de sa taille ultérieure, Bancroft Mills fut décrite comme la plus grande entreprise de traitement du coton des États-Unis et en 1930, comme l'une des plus importantes du monde. Devenir Vers 1880 la firme était contrôlée par Samuel Bancroft qui devint l'éditeur du journal de Wilmington Every Evening et l'un des principaux philanthrope. Ses collections de peintures préraphaéliques (en) forme la base de la collection du Delaware Art Museum. Bancroft introduit la mercerisation aux États-Unis et fut le pionnier de l'utilisation des tissus synthétiques dans le tissage. Alors que les producteurs de textiles quittaient le Nord Est des États-Unis pour les états du sud, Bancroft Mills du fermer en 1961. Le complexe fut récemment la possession de la Wilmington Piece Dye company qui fit faillite en mai 2003. Le site fut alors acheté par le groupe de nettoyage O'Neill (O'Neil Properties Group), une compagnie spécialisée dans la rénovation et la revitalisation de sites inoccupées ou potentiellement dangereux. Les bâtiments de Bancroft Mills sont destinés à devenir un complexe luxueux, en copropriété qui serait appelé Rockford Falls. Pour l'instant le complexe reste un vestige significatif de l'histoire des moulins de la vallée de la rivière Brandywine.
