Huguenot House, Route 9, Taylors Corner, New Castle County, DE

Significance: The Hugeunot House, located near Taylor's Bridge in Appoquinimink Hundred, is an extraordinary example of an early to mid-eighteenth century Delaware plantation house. The house, which reflects three major periods of growth, contains exceptionally well-preserved interior finishes including paneled fireplace walls in all principal rooms. The house also exhibits a number of regionally identifiable vernacular building characteristics including evidence of pent eaves, collarless common rafter roof construction, and glazed header Flemish bond. // Built about 1711, the Huguenot House is one of the oldest surviving in Delaware, and preserved many characteristic features of the period.
