First Delaware Legislature Met
in L0qan's Historic Farm House

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del, Nov. 13.-Kent County
can boast of many historical spots,
both in lands and buildings, but there
is perhaps no building OF more inter-
est than the Colonial brick house,
seven miles southeast of Dover and
within two miles OF the Delaware bay
and but few yards from ST. Jones
river. on one Of the large farms own
ed by the Logan family OF philadel-
phia.
This building. almost forgotten by
many from an historical point OF
view Is. however, pointed out by those
familiar with Delawaro's early history
as the building I'm which the first courts
were held in Kent county. and also
where the rst Delaware Legislature
met, after Delaware became an inde-
pendent State with the other twelve
colonies.
About the year 1875 courts were es-
tablished for the three lower coun-
ties" one at New Castle for New Cas-
tie county: one at place called
Troy" on ST. Jones' river near Dover.
for Kent county. and at Whorekili.
now Lewes for the county Of Sussex.
There has been some confusion in the
early history as to whether the first
I court for Kent county was held al
Troy" or "rowne Point" both places
being near the st. Jones' river. Towne
Point was owned by Edward Pack.
one OF the early justices OF the peace.
and II was at his house where the
court was held John Briggs, another
carly justice OF the peace, was the
owner OF Troy The Towne Point
iarm IS now owned by the Logan fam
lly or Philadelphia. above referred 10.
II having descended to them as heirs
OF John Dickinson. one Of the early
settlers OF Delaware.
was not until 1717 that the Town
.ot Dover was laid out and became tbe
county seat. but the first court house
within the limits OF what afterwards
became the town OF Dover was bniit
about the year 1859. The BRICK build-
ing, which is the subject of this sketch
Is believed to be the original court
house.
The General Assembly originally
met at New Castle, but in f777. one
year after the declaration of Inde-
pendence was adopted Dover was
created the capital. Thf bin making
Dover the capital OF the State was
passed May 70. 1777 the reason fer
the change being made plain i'm the
preamble of the bin creating the State
Capital at Dover. which was as fol.
lows;
Whereas. Il is Just that the seat
of government should be made as cen
trail and convenient to all the inhabi.
tants of the State as possible: and
Whereas, The holding of the as
sembly I'm the town OF New Castle
has heen long found extremely bur.
thensome to the good people of the
I counties of Kent and Sussex. For the
] remedy whereof

to fall ON Sunday, in which case the
meeting shall be held the next day.

During the interruptions incident to
the War Of the Revolution the legisla-
tive sessions OF Delaware were held
either at Dover. Lewes or New Castle.
That the Delaware Legislature met
ir the brick building on the Logan
Farm near Kits Hammock, which is
well preserved today and being occu-
pied by the present tenant on the
farm, from the years 1777 to 1887,
seems to be conceded without a doubt.
17S7-SS, Commissioners were ap-
pointed to- prepare for a new county
court house and the General Assembly
requested that the projected improve
ment include accommodations for that
body. On May 2S, 17SS the commits
sioners agreed to the request OF the
General Assembly, and asked for an
appropriation for the completion Of
the building On June 8, 17SS all
moneys arising from marriage and
tavern licenses were appropriated to
the completing of the court house.
which was also used for TIE General
Assembly. This new building was

when the State bought the countys
rights i'm the land and building and
since that time It has been used ex-
clusively for a State Houose. The
building as completed In 17SS, re-
mained in that style of architecture
until 1873 when the interior was
somewhat changed 10 meet the de-
mands Of the State officers.
In 1897, an addition was built to the
State House, providing a much-needed
library, the upper part OF the building
being used first for the Constitutional
Convention which convened here that
year and afterwards fitted up for the
State Senate. whose membership had
been Increased by the Constitutional
Convention from nine 10 seventeen
members. and the House membership
being increased from twenty-One to
thirty-hve members.
AT the session OF the Legislature OF
1909, because OF the still increasing
demands for more room for State
