Description
One of a kind Historical home, that is thought to be built by the Mendenhall Family likely in the late 1790's. This stone structure at 3832 Mill Creek Road was one of seven mills that operated along the Brandywine River. By the 1860s, the structure shows up in the US census as being owned by Thomas Worrell. As the Civil War began, an advertisement in the newspaper, The Delaware Republican, shows Thomas Worrell seeking wool for his mill in 1861. Documents at Hagley Museum indicate that Worrell was producing a product called kersey, a material that was used to make uniforms for Union soldiers. Worrell eventually sold his mill to George Gibson and the mill was abandoned in the late 1890s, based on historical pictures uncovered at Hagley. In 1946, the son of the owner of the stately Federal home that sits across the street from the mill married and he converted the surviving stone structure into a home for his new bride. The house was renovated using 18th century floors, doors and hardware giving it an authentic historic feel. The turned staircase comes from an old home in Wilmington. There’s even a porcelain face mortared into the fireplace as a memorial to the millworkers who once worked the property. The flooring in the living room and entrance is believed to be the original wood when it was constructed. The setting on the Brandywine River is a relaxing lifestyle that allows you to sit on your deck and view the wild life literally on your property. The home is surrounded by County land that will probably never be developed. If you are looking special home with modern conveniences but the details of the past, this is a home that you want to view. Large two bedrooms, Oil forced air with central a/c. Stone Foundation and Cedar Shingles. Home is owned by a Delaware Realtor. Call to schedule your tour and have a peaceful time walking back in the past and enjoying the Brandywine River.
