Abstract
This 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.
