    Park Theater
    (1999) Maclean, Sharon; Cathey, Jennifer A.; Ross, Elizabeth G.R.
    Built in 1919-1920, the Park Theater represents the rapid rise and eventual decline of motion picture theatres in urban communities. It is significant as it denotes the architectural transition from storefront screening rooms to large theatres designed for motion pictures and the patrons who frequented them. This transition, in turn, marks the popularity and permanence of the new art form during the early and midtwentieth century.

    Threatened Buildings Documented in Delaware, 1999-2000: Charles I. du Pont Tenant Farm
    (1999-11) Paulus, Emily; Sheppard, Rebecca J.; Dobbs, Kelli W.; Maclean, Sharon; Cathey, Jennifer A.; Puleo, Kevin; Killinger, Sarah; Breithaupt, Lindsey; Richards, Amy; Brossman, Romy; Everett, Jeffrey; Kershaw, Christie; Johnson, Amy
    The Charles I. du Pont Tenant Farm House stands today as an example of a finely detailed, mid-to-late eighteenth century rural dwelling. Although architectural evidence suggests that a member of Kent County's rural elite built the dwelling, the farm served from an early date as a tenant property. Outbuildings on the farm date primarily from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, when the du Pont family owned the property. The farm complex provides an excellent example of the use of agricultural tenancy as a strategy for generating income, particularly in its connection with the dairy industry.

    Threatened Buildings Documented in Delaware, 1999-2000: Cherbourg Round Barn
    (1999-10) Paulus, Emily; Sheppard, Rebecca J.; Dobbs, Kelli W.; Maclean, Sharon; Cathey, Jennifer A.; Puleo, Kevin; Killinger, Sarah; Breithaupt, Lindsey; Richards, Amy; Brossman, Romy; Everett, Jeffrey; Kershaw, Christie; Johnson, Amy
    One of the most architecturally distinctive agricultural outbuildings in Delaware, the Cherbourg Round Barn is significant on several accounts. The only barn of its type in the state, it demonstrates an innovative approach to the problems associated with the shelter and nourishment of cattle. The circular plan maximized the ground floor space and facilitated routine cleaning of the living and feeding area. The unusual roof permitted the storage of large amounts of hay in proximity to the feeding area below, while the adjacent silos provided convenient storage for additional food supplements.

    Threatened Buildings Documented in Delaware, 1999-2000: Hayes-Campbell Tenant House

    The Hayes-Campbell Tenant House, which dates to the third quarter of the nineteenth century, is significant as one of the few remnants of Bombay Hook’s nineteenth century agricultural landscape. Secondly, it is significant for its framing system, which combines elements of heavy braced-frame construction with lighter balloon-frame construction.

    Threatened Buildings Documented in Delaware, 1999-2000: Jehu M. Reed House
    (2000-02) Paulus, Emily; Sheppard, Rebecca J.; Dobbs, Kelli W.; Maclean, Sharon; Cathey, Jennifer A.; Puleo, Kevin; Killinger, Sarah; Breithaupt, Lindsey; Richards, Amy; Brossman, Romy; Everett, Jeffrey; Kershaw, Christie; Johnson, Amy
    The Jehu M. Reed House is significant on several accounts. 1 For more than 200 years, from 1685 through 1912, the property maintained an association with the Reed family, a well-known and prominent Central Delaware family. Constructed in 1771, the house was expanded in 1868 to both accommodate and express the lifestyle of Jehu M. Reed, an agricultural pioneer and benefactor whose advances and techniques in farming helped foster Delaware's peach and apple industry. Additionally, the house stands as an exemplary breed of rural Mid-Atlantic architecture that melds the original fabric of a Georgian structure with an Italianate/Victorian plantation house.

    The John Barber House is significant both as a log dwelling dating to the second quarter of the nineteenth century and for its association with the practice of tenant farming common in Kent County.

    Threatened Buildings Documented in Delaware, 1999-2000:John T. Simmons Farmstead
    (1999-10) Paulus, Emily; Sheppard, Rebecca J.; Dobbs, Kelli W.; Maclean, Sharon; Cathey, Jennifer A.; Puleo, Kevin; Killinger, Sarah; Breithaupt, Lindsey; Richards, Amy; Brossman, Romy; Everett, Jeffrey; Kershaw, Christie; Johnson, Amy
    The John T. Simmons Farmstead is locally significant in terms of mid-to-late nineteenth century agriculture and architecture. The dwelling provides an excellent example of the mid-nineteenth century rebuilding of rural Delaware when agricultural reforms coincided with construction of new dwellings and outbuildings, and also with expansion and improvement of existing buildings. The agricultural outbuildings in the complex, particularly the drive-through crib/granary and dairy barn, contribute to the significance of the property as architectural expressions of the evolution of agriculture in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
