Nice shots. I'll bet even 'This Old House" on PBS would declare it too far gone.
Must have been a beauty in its day.
Nice shots. what is the status of the house? are they going to make it a historical site? Restore and make it a museum be nice...
I would love to be able to explore the inside of this one....
A "This Old House" project for at least 3 seasons.
Achmester is a historic home located on Marl Pit Rd in Middletown, DE. Achmester was built in 1829 by Richard Mansfield, a founder of Middletown Academy & one of the early agricultural reformers of southern New Castle County.., and is a 1 1⁄2-story, single pile "Peach Mansion." It consists of a five bay frame main block with a five bay gable end addition, and five bay rear service ell. It has a gable roof with dormers and sits on a stone foundation. The facade features simple box cornices and dormers decorated at a later date with Gothic Revival sawnwork trim, pendents, and vergeboards. Unfortunately it is scheduled to be demolished this year.
