New Castle Streets and Buildings

Jill decided to take us to dinner to a quaint tavern she ate at in New Castle several years ago.

Established in 1796, twenty years after the colonies declared themselves independent.

All these old brick buildings were built in the 1600s or 1700s.

It must look pretty here covered in a blanket of snow.

Founded in 1689, this was the first Anglican church in Delaware. The church was built in 1703.

Here lies Elizabeth Smith, born in 1784 and died in 1827.

Died 1771. Interesting inscription.

Don't climb on the headstones.

This virtuous person was born in 1689 and died in 1765.


So many old churches have graves next to the church itself.

It looks like additions were added to this two story building.

Jill likes to sightsee.
