DescriptionJOHN C. VANSANT HOUSE, NEWARK, NORTHERN NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DE.jpg
English: IT WAS BUILT ABOUT 1810, AND IS A TWO-STORY, STONE AND FRAME DWELLING WITH A 1 1/2-STORY, STONE AND FRAME ADDITION BUILT ABOUT 1936. IN 1980, NEW CASTLE COUNTY PURCHASED THE VANSANT PROPERTY TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER THREE PROPERTIES. THESE LANDS CONSTITUTE ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THE MIDDLE RUN VALLEY NATURAL AREA. THE IMMEDIATE AREA IS USED AS THE TRI-STATE BIRD RESCUE
I AM SORRY FOR THIS POOR PICTURE BUT THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT AND PERHAPS IMPOSSIBLE SITE TO VISIT. FIRST OF ALL THE ADDRESS IS WRONG. IT SHOULD BE CIRCA 170 POSSUM HOLLOW ROAD WHICH IS THE HEADQUARTERS FOR THE TRI-STATE BIRD SANCTUARY. THE HOUSE IS ABOUT 200 YARDS OR SO DOWN A GRAVEL PATH OFF LIMITS TO VISITORS. I ASKED PERMISSION TO WALK DOWN THE PATH BUT WAS REFUSED SO I TOOK THIS PICTURE THROUGH THE WOODS WHICH SHOWS THE BACK OF THE MAIN HOUSE. I HAVE A MAP OF THE PROPERTY AND THIS IS THE ONLY HOUSE ON THE SITE AND ALL OTHER BUILDINGS ARE SUPPLEMENTARY
