Home: Stonum, 900 Washington Avenue, New Castle, DE

Visited: 9/19/2014

Log Excerpt: "Back in the car we drove a short way to Stonum NHL. This is the home of George Read, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, his advocacy having enabled Delaware to become the first state ratifying the declaration. This private home is totally surrounded by thick shrubs, so I poked my camera through for poor pictures."

Log Excerpt: "Around the corner we stopped at the George Read II House NHL. Built in 1793 for George Read, Jr., was the largest and most sophisticated residence in the state at the time and is a significant early example of high-style Federal period architecture. In the garden area adjacent was the home of father and Signer George Read, the structure long gone."
