Old Customshouse (Wilmington, Delaware)

The Old Customshouse is a historic government building at 516 North King Street in Wilmington, Delaware. It was built in 1855 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. History Originally, Delaware's custom house existed in New Castle, but it was moved to a small rented building on Water Street in Wilmington around 1800. In 1837, the First Board of Trade came into existence to promote trade through the port of Wilmington. As one of their first actions, the organization sent a petition to Congress asking for a permanent custom house. Representative George R. Riddle secured appropriations for what was intended to be a dedicated customs house in 1852 which was completed in 1855. Despite the intent for a single-use facility, the Federal Court and the Post Office also shared the building until 1897. During the Korean and Vietnam war periods, the Old Customshouse served as the Delaware initial reporting and induction site for drafted soldiers. The Wilmington Parking Authority built the Customs House Garage, a 1,335 car facility adjacent to the building. Wilmington University purchased the building from the federal government in 1983 and used it for both business meetings and downtown classes. In 2008, Wilmington University sold the building to a group of investors who then created Old Customs House LLC. In 2018, the building was then sold to the State of Delaware, who plans to turn the space into offices for the judicial branch and community court facilities. Architecture Ammi B. Young designed the Greek Revival building. The two-story structure consist of a cut stone base with stucco exterior walls and four smokestacks. It used to have a portico with a triangular pediment but that was removed in 1929. The hip roof is made of iron using innovative foundry technology for the period.

Old First Presbyterian Church (Newark, Delaware)

Old First Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church located at Newark in New Castle County, Delaware. It was begun in 1868, dedicated in 1872, and is one story rectangular stone structure with a two bay facade and a tower. The tower features a steep gable roof with flared eaves and a louvered belfry. Architects Dixon and Davis of Baltimore designed this stone building in the Gothic Revival style. The Wilmington Daily Commercial publicized its construction, describing blue granite and brownstone mined from Chestnut Hill, a steeple soaring 100 feet high and twenty-foot interior ceilings. A large, pointed-arch, stained-glass window dominates the north wall facing Main Street. Narrow, pointed-arch windows with pastel, diamond-shaped panes line the east and west walls between exterior stone buttresses. The slate roof has alternating rows of square and scalloped shingles. In 1967, the building was sold by the First Presbyterian Church to the University of Delaware. The University of Delaware renamed it after J. Fenton Daugherty, professor of physics from 1929 to 1945 and dean of men from 1945 to 1951. Several generations of students knew it as "The Abbey," a cafeteria-style dining facility. In 1995, as part of the new student center project, the University restored the sanctuary and reopened it as a "quiet" study lounge adjoining Trabant University Center. Daugherty Hall has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982. It has been incorporated into the University's Trabant University Center. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Newark, Delaware References
Старая Первая пресвитерианская церковь (Ньюарк, Делавэр)

Старая Первая пресвитерианская церковь (англ. Old First Presbyterian Church) — историческая пресвитерианская церковь в Ньюарке, штат Делавэр. История Строительство началось в 1868 году, церковь была освящена в 1872 году. Это одноэтажное прямоугольное каменное здание с двухпролётным фасадом и башней. Башня имеет крутую двускатную крышу с расширенными карнизами и звонницу с жалюзи. Архитекторы Диксон и Дэвис из Балтимора спроектировали это каменное здание в неоготическом стиле. Газета Wilmington Daily Commercial освещала его строительство, описывая голубой гранит и коричневый песчаник, добытые в Честнат-Хилле, шпиль высотой 100 футов (30,5 м) и внутренние потолки высотой 20 футов (6 м). На северной стене, выходящей на Мейн-стрит, доминирует большое витражное окно с остроконечной аркой. Узкие стрельчатые окна с пастельными ромбовидными стеклами расположены на восточной и западной стенах между наружными каменными контрфорсами. Шиферная крыша чередуется рядами квадратной и зубчатой черепицы. Современность В 1967 году здание было продано Первой пресвитерианской церковью Делавэрскому университету. Делавэрский университет переименовал его в Догерти-Холл (Daugherty Hall) в честь Дж. Фентона Догерти, профессора физики с 1929 по 1945 год и декана по работе с мужчинами с 1945 по 1951 год. Несколько поколений студентов знали церковь как «Аббатство» — столовую в неоготическом стиле. В 1995 году в рамках проекта по созданию нового студенческого центра университет отреставрировал церковь и открыл в ней учебную аудиторию, примыкающую к университетскому центру «Трабант». Старая Первая пресвитерианская церковь (Догерти-Холл) внесена в Национальный реестр исторических мест в 1982 году. Здание входит в состав университетского центра «Трабант». Примечания
