Item Agricultural Landscapes Documented in Maryland, 1996-97(Center for Historic Architecture and Design, 1997) Siders, Rebecca J.; Melson, Dawn E.; Anderton, Connie; Darsie, Julie; Eubank, Allyson; Hein, Kara; Hershey, Preston; Lanier, Gabrielle; Radu, Cristina; Taylor, Susan; Theimer, Karen; Tweedy, Angela; van den Hurk, JeroenItem The Architectural Resources Of Port Penn, De(1996-01) Siders, Rebecca J.; Warner, Pamela; Herman, Bernard L.; Darsie, Julie C.; Melson, Dawn E.Item Bell Farm(1999) Hickman, Kennedy; Siders, Rebecca J.; van den Hurk, Jeroen; Dobbs, Kelli W.The Bell House is significant as an example of a typical mid-nineteenth-century small farm dwelling. Built circa 1840, the earliest portion of the house is based on a hall-parlor plan with a paneled winder stair and fireplace in the hall. The house is remarkable for the level of original finish that survives in the Period I section, including original decorative paint on the interior of the cabinet doors in the hall.Item Buttonwood(Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, 1996) McCarthy, Deidre C.; Siders, Rebecca J.; Herman, Bernard L.; Darsie, Julie C.; Melson, Dawn E.; Nelson, Louis P.; Ames, David L.Buttonwood is a significant example of the type of rural dwelling associated with residents of the town of New Castle who owned both urban and rural residences. Buttonwood also exhibits a unique floor plan with two sets of double parlors as well as fully integrated service facilities located in the basement. Previously thought to date to the late eighteenth century, architectural evidence now shows that Buttonwood was built in the 1830s. Buttonwood clearly exhibits architectural significance in addition to its traditional significance as a house associated with James Booth, Sr., a Delaware legislator and Supreme Court Justice.Item The Canning Industry in Delaware, 1860 To 1940+/-: A Historic Context(1993) Siders, Rebecca J.; Doerrfeld, Dean A.; Ames, David L.The Canning Historic Context was developed in response to the loss of historic resources dealing with Delaware's industrial heritage. While concerted efforts have preserved and interpreted Delaware's industrial and economic resources in northern New Castle County, the physical resources related to activities in the rural two-thirds of the state are quickly disappearing. The goal of this project was to identify and record one facet of rural industrial activity and identify other areas in need of research.Item Fort Delaware Architectural Research Project(1999) Dobbs, Kelli W.; Siders, Rebecca J.Item Henry Whiteman House(1999) van den Hurk, Jeroen; Derry, Diane; Dobbs, Kelli W.; Hickman, Kennedy; Siders, Rebecca J.The Henry Whiteman House is now part of the Middle Run Crossing subdivision in Mill Creek Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware.

The Historic Context Master Reference and Summary provides defined historic contexts and offers examples of property types where known. It is important to note that the defined historic contexts found in the volume are not fully developed historic contexts. A defined historic context identifies the historic theme , geographic zone, and chronological period; it may identify expected property types ; and it may include an estimate of the research material available. To be considered fully developed, a historic context must contain the following items: * historic theme * geographic zone * chronological period * information needs * reference bibliography * method for involving the general and professional public mechanism for updating the context * known and expected property types * criteria for evaluating existing or expected resources * distribution and potential distribution of property types * goals and priorities for the context and its property typesItem Jackson House, Delaware(2000) Dobbs, Kelli W.; Siders, Rebecca J.The Jackson House is located near a major intersection in Hockessin and is significant for. its association with several influential families in the community for over 200 years. These families - the Dixons, the Jacksons and the Garretts - contributed to the development of the village of Hockessin by maintaining large land holdings and operating mining and saw milling facilities in the vicinity. The house is also significant architecturally, documenting the shiR fiom log to stone construction in the early nineteenth century and a stylistic shift to Georgian symmetry.Item Kent County(Center for Historic Architecture and Design, 2002-01) Siders, Rebecca J.; Chase, Susan M.Item National Register Of Historic Places Eligibility Evaluation: Baltimore Hundred, Sussex County, Delaware(1990) Mulchahey, Susan A.; Siders, Rebecca J.; Lanier, Gabrielle M.; Zeigler, Nancy K.; Herman, Bernard L.Item New Castle County(Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, 1990-08) Siders, Rebecca J.Item Ocean Mine Number One Complex: Powerhouse and Ventilation Fan(1989-09) Ames, David L.; Herman, Bernard L.; Lanier, Gabrielle M.; Siders, Rebecca J.The Ocean Mine Number One Ventilation Fan and Powerhouse are among the few structures remaining from what was once the Consolidation Coal Company's Ocean Mine Number One complex. Together they represent important improvements in coal mine safety and efficiency. They are also significant as reflections of the last wave of capital improvements in tunnel mining before the industry shift to surface, pit, and strip coal mining. The belt-driven Aerodyne-type fan sat above a bricklined vertical mine entrance where it could force air into the mines below. The powerhouse was erected as a shop for the manufacture, repair, and transportation of ore carts for use in the mine.Item Priorities for the Development of a Historic Context for the Minority Experience in Delaware(1991-03) Ames, David L.; Siders, Rebecca J.For Fiscal Year 1991 the Delaware State Review Board for Historic Preservation placed a priority on developing a historic context framework that would help set future funding priorities for the identification,evaluation, and registration of the significant historical resources associated with the minority experience in Delaware. The Review Board established this priority because the historic resources that manifest the minority experience in Delaware (particularly those related to African-Americans) are scant in number, highly perishable, and very threatened. The same historic, cultural, and economic forces that kept minority groups in a socially and economically subservient position also dictated that those minority groups would have meager material resources. Those resources that were created have been lost at a much greater rate than resources related to the larger society.Item Ramsey House(1995) Herman, Bernard L.; McCarthy, Deidre C.; Nelson, Lewis P.; Siders, Rebecca J.; Ranzetta, Kirk E.The Ramsey House is located just north of Ramsey road (County Road 224) and east of Brandywine Creek in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle County. The dwelling stands as a two-story, rubble stone dwelling reflecting two major periods of nineteenth-century construction activity and a third modern remodeling episode. Overall, the house is in sound condition with the greatest degree of historic architectural integrity associated with the first construction phase in the first quarter of the nineteenth century.Item Ross Mansion Quarter(1992-07) Ames, David L.; Bethke, Robert D.; Curtis, James; Garrison, J.
