Notes
  • Significance: The farmhouse at Locust Grove was built in two phases during a prosperous and dynamic period in the history of southern New Castle County and, specifically, St. Georges Hundred. The first section, constructed ca. 1830, incorporates Greek Revival style details, while the later section, constructed ca. 1870, embodies the Second Empire style of architecture. A pyramidal-roof smokehouse located immediately northeast of the farmhouse was constructed ca. 1830. Locust Grove's combined use of Second Empire and Greek Revival architectural characteristics is representative of St. Georges Hundred rebuilding activity and reflects the architectural, agricultural, and social changes of that hundred between the years 1830 and 1899. Locust Grove's farmhouse, smokehouse, and remaining acreage are contributing elements in the Rebuilding St. Georges Hundred (1830-1899) thematic National Register nomination.
