Item 1601 and 1605 Naamans Road(2010-03-05T16:53:26Z) Center for Historic Architecture and DesignThese two houses are significant as examples of the early twentieth century practice of subdividing parcels at the edge of farms to provide housing for family members or for speculative building. 1605 was built between 1927 and 1930, and 1601 was constructed circa 1940, as part of a series of lots broken out by William Hanby and his wife Daisy.Item 4127 Concord Pike(2009-11-10T17:02:21Z) Center for Historic Architecture and DesignItem A.

The project includes a written report, seven AutoCAD drawings of the hotel as well as Delaware Cultural Resource Survey (CRS) forms 12 and 13 which contain the photo log and photos for the submitted report.Item Bank Barns in Mill Creek Hundred, DelawareJicha, III., Hubert F.Item Bell Farm(1999) Hickman, Kennedy; Siders, Rebecca J.; van den Hurk, Jeroen; Dobbs, Kelli W.The Bell House is significant as an example of a typical mid-nineteenth-century small farm dwelling. Built circa 1840, the earliest portion of the house is based on a hall-parlor plan with a paneled winder stair and fireplace in the hall. The house is remarkable for the level of original finish that survives in the Period I section, including original decorative paint on the interior of the cabinet doors in the hall.Item Bethel Church(2006) Center for Historic Architecture and Design; Taylor, Susan; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Item "Both Ornamental and Useful": The Lancaster County Almshouse and Hospital(Center for Historic Architecture and Design, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 1990-02) Bourque, Monique; Herman, Bernard; Siders, Rebecca; Zeigler, NancyThe documentation of the Lancaster County Almshouse and Hospital was funded by a gift from the Edward Hand Medical Heritage Foundation to the Delaware Valley Threatened Buildings Survey at the University of Delaware. The research and documentation was conducted by a team from the Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, College of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, University of Delaware. Fieldwork, measured drawings, and architectural analysis were completed during the summer of 1989 by Dr. Bernard L. Herman, Nancy Zeigler, and Gabrielle Lanier. Large-format photographs for the Historic American Buildings Survey documentation were taken by Dr. David L. Ames. Research into the daily activities, conditions of life, and general policies of the almshouse was conducted by Nancy Zeigler and Monique Bourque in the fall of 1989. We are grateful to Dr. David Wiley, Dr. William Atlee, and the members of the Edward Hand Medical Heritage Foundation for their support, encouragement, and participation in the documentation of the Lancaster County Almshouse and Hospital. We hope this report will lead to the preservation, restoration, and interpretation of this historically and architecturally significant structure.Item Buttonwood(Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, 1996) McCarthy, Deidre C.; Siders, Rebecca J.; Herman, Bernard L.; Darsie, Julie C.; Melson, Dawn E.; Nelson, Louis P.; Ames, David L.Buttonwood is a significant example of the type of rural dwelling associated with residents of the town of New Castle who owned both urban and rural residences. Buttonwood also exhibits a unique floor plan with two sets of double parlors as well as fully integrated service facilities located in the basement. Previously thought to date to the late eighteenth century, architectural evidence now shows that Buttonwood was built in the 1830s. Buttonwood clearly exhibits architectural significance in addition to its traditional significance as a house associated with James Booth, Sr., a Delaware legislator and Supreme Court Justice.Item Captain Thomas Mendenhall House and Captain Thomas Mendenhall Tenant Houses, 217-219 E. Front Street(1980) Herman, Bernard L.; Ames, David L.The Captain Thomas Mendenhall House was erected in the last decade of the eighteenth century on the northwest corner of Front and Walnut Streets, facing what was then Wilmington's commercial waterfront along the Christina River.Item Cultural Resource Survey and Evaluation Report: Milton, Delaware(2009) Sheppard, Rebecca J.; Shaw, Stephanie; Walker, Victoria; Toney, Kimberly; Cole, Anna Blinn; Lodal, Gena; Selway, Rachel; Olsen, Allison; Schmidt, LauraThis report is a survey and physical evaluation of historic properties outside of the National Register of Historic Places Milton Historic District in the Town of Milton, Sussex County, Delaware (S-1110). The purpose of this report is four-fold: 1) to report the initial documentation of the historic properties in the form of a cultural resource survey; 2) to identify the properties potentially eligible for inclusion in an expansion of the existing National Register district; 3) to identify properties that should be protected for the good of the town by a local historic zoning ordinance; 4) and to expand the historic background of the survey area into the late twentieth century and to recognize the roles played by people of color. The Town of Milton hired the Center for Historic Architecture and Design (CHAD), University of Delaware, to conduct this survey in two phases, from September 2007 through January 2009. Funding for the work was provided by the town, a matching funds CLG grant from the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs, and matching funds from CHAD.Item Deed Trace And Historic Context: Delaware Technology Park(2000) Dobbs, Kelli W.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Item Delaware Agricultural Landscapes Evaluation, 1998-1999(2000) Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Everett, Jeffrey; Puleo, Kevin; Brossman, RomyItem Delaware Threatened Buildings Survey: Guidelines for Documentation of Threatened ResourcesCenter for Historic Architecture and EngineeringThe dramatic transformations that have taken place in Delaware's rural and urban landscapes over the past decade have exacted a tremendous and irreversible toll on the built environment. Abandonment, vandalism, demolition, and uninformed renovations have contributed to the overall loss of material even in New Castle County and the City of Wilmington, where preservation planners have gained some measure of cooperation from responsive property owners in terms of partial funding for historic structures documentation. The following guidelines will act as standards that will provide for the documentation of threatened structures throughout the state at a level appropriate to their individual significance and integrity.
