History

The house was built in 1811 and is a two-story to three-story, five-bay, stuccoed stone dwelling. The three center bays project slightly from the main body of the home. In 1935, a kitchen wing was added to the other end of the residence, plus a gated wall and garage.

The home was owned by members of the prominent Du Pont family. At the back of the house is "Chicken Alley", an excellent example of a 19th-century workers' row house.[2]
