Item Adaptions of Bungalows in the Lower Peninsula/Cypress Swamp Zone of Delaware, 1880-1940+/-(1990) Herman, Bernard L.; Mulchahey, Susan A.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Lanier, Gabrielle M.; Zeigler, Nancy K.The period between 1880 and 1940 was a time of great growth in the urban population of the United States and Delaware. Accompanying this growth was the development of suburbs and new building types that expressed the values, desires, and economic situation of the suburban population. One of these new forms was the bungalow. Its thrifty style and easy- to-build design made it very attractive to urban dwel.lers seeking a new environment. During this period, a proliferation of bungalow advertisements, floor plans, and decorating ideas appeared in the popular literature of the period.Item African-American Population of Delaware: 1800-1980(1991-02) Ames, David L.; Callahan, Mary Helen; Chase, Susan M.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Item Agricultural Tenancy in Central Delaware, 1700-1900+/-: A Historic Context(Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, 1991-07) Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Herman, Bernard L.; Ames, David L.; Marth, Andrea L.; Lanier, Gabrielle M.; Watson, Margaret H.; Bellingrath, Elizabeth M.; Van Dolsen, Nancy; Bashman, Leslie D.; Chase, Susan M.Item Bethel Church(2006) Center for Historic Architecture and Design; Taylor, Susan; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Item The Changing Landscape of the St. Jones Neck Under the Influence of the Dickinson Family, 1680-1850: An Exhibit Script(1994-08) Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Edwards, Pamela C.Item Deed Trace And Historic Context: Delaware Technology Park(2000) Dobbs, Kelli W.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Item Delaware Agricultural Landscapes Evaluation, 1998-1999(2000) Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Everett, Jeffrey; Puleo, Kevin; Brossman, RomyItem Delaware Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan(Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, 1989-06) Ames, David L.; Callahan, Mary Helen; Herman, Bernard L.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Item The Delaware Ship and Boat Building Industry, 1830-1940: An Historic Context(1994) Doerrfeld, Dean A.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Herman, Bernard L.; Ames, David L.This historic context develops criteria for the evaluation of the physical remains of the ship and boatbuilding industry in Delaware between 1830 and 1940 to determine their significance and potential eligibility for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. By examining technology, the construction process of ships and boats, and ship yard organization, this historic context will explore a segment of Delaware's industrial heritage that reached numerous cities and towns along Delaware's coastal waterways and extended well beyond the Brandywine River in the north (traditionally thought of as the industrial center of Delaware).Item Delaware's Aids to Navigation: A Survey and National Register Eligibility Evaluation(1991) Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Ames, David L.; Bashman, Leslie D.Item A Documentary History of the Arsenal New Castle, Delaware(1998) Hein, Kara K.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Item Dwellings of the Rural Elite in Central Delaware, 1770-1830+/-(Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, 1989-12) Herman, Bernard L.; Lanier, Gabrielle M.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Van Balgooy, MaxItem Evaluation of Resources: Upper Penninsula Zone 1630-1830(1990) Herman, Bernard L.; Van Balgooy, Max; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Lanier, Gabrielle M.Item Evaluation Of The Brandywine Village Historic District National Register Nomination(1991-03) Ames, David L.; Bashman, Leslie D.; Harper, Deborah; Mulchahey, Susan A.; Pendleton, Phil; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Item Fort Dupont Historic District(1999-03-08) Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Andrzejewski, AnnaItem Fort Dupont Historic District(1999) Andrzejewski, Anna; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Item Fort DuPont, Delaware: An Architectural Survey and Evaluation(Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, 1994-06) Ames, David L.; Doerrfeld, Dean A.; Elterich, Allison W.; Fisher, Caroline C.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Commissioned in 1899 as a part of the nation's coastal defense system, Fort DuPont headquartered the Coastal Artillery Corps that commanded the coastal artillery installations defending Wilmington,Philadelphia, and the Delaware Valley from naval attack. Military officals recognized the strategic importance of the Reedy Point site as early as 1819 when they proposed the construction of a three-tiered fortification. Located on the western shore of the Delaware River at a point where it narrows through the bend, the site allowed a clear line of fire downsteam. The earliest armament at the site came in the form of a defensive position constructed during the Civil War when "Ten Gun Battery" was built to support Fort Delaware and to protect the river's westen channel. In the early 1870's, the army replaced Ten Gun Battery with a larger emplacement planned for twenty guns. along with a regunned Fort Delaware and the new Fort Mott on the eastern New Jersey side, the new battery defended the Delaware River and Valley against foreign attack. Construction began on Fort DuPont in 1899 and was completed about 1913. In 1922 as its importance to coastal defense declined, the fort became the headquarters for the First Engineers Regiment. After the engineers moved out in 1939, it became a training facility, a role that continued until the end of World War II when the State of Delaware aquired the fort. This report describes and evaluates the historic significance of Fort DuPont and determines the eligibility of the fort and its historic resources for the National Register of Historic Places. The work was undertaken by the center for Historic Architecture and Engineering(CHAE),University of Delaware, for the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, Division of Parks and Recreation, as part of their evaluation of the feasibility of Fort DuPont as a state park. The survey, evaluation, and context research was conducted between April 1993 and March 1994.Item Gibraltar(1999) Hamilton, Jeffrey; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.; Dobbs, Kelli W.; Richards, AmyThis architectural description of Gibraltar at 250 Pennsylvania Avenue, Wilmington, Delaware comprises a study of the four principle, non-service spaces of the first floor: the dining room, stair hall and hall, living room, and library. The brief discussion of the exterior at the end of this report is not intended as a thorough description, but is meant to relate the various rooms examined and the various building campaigns of the 1840s, c. 1915, and c. 1927 to the exterior of the house. The room designations used in this description follow those on the plans prepared by Homsey Architects of Wilmington The house's facade is actually more nearly oriented south, but the compass directions used throughout this description will correspond to those used in the National Register of Historic Places registration form for Gilbraltar, which describes the house as facing east.Item Historic Context for Aids to Navigation in Delaware(1984) Center for Historic Architecture and Design; Ames, David L.; Bashman, Leslie D.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.Aids to navigation are an important overall property type in relation to the priorities for historic theme, geographic zone, chronological period, and historic contexts established in the Delaware -Plan. Fifteen specific preservation goals are recommended for nine aids to navigation property types as a function of ownership, level and extent of expected significance, and specific property type characteristics. Ranked priorities are suggested for the fifteen overall goals (independent of property types) and for each property type within the group of property types to which each overall goal applies. Also, overall relative priorities are suggested for each combination of goal and property type.Item Marshland Resources in the Delaware Estuary, 1830 to 1950+/-: An Historic Context(Center for Historic Architecture & Engineering, 1993-04) Fisher, Caroline C.; Elterich, Allison W.; Herman, Bernard L.; Siders (Sheppard), Rebecca J.
