The wife, Maryanne Paschall, was a niece of Joseph Shipley of Rockwood Museum. The Paschall family lived at the farm until 1950. There was a springhouse, barn and an airfield (Weldin Rd was the landing field). The house was bought by Homer Booker, the builder of Shellburne and Sharpley. He removed the barn and restored the house to welcome future owners. The Booker family lived there while Shellburne and Sharpley were built. The home has been well cared for since that time. Ideally located in the heart of North Wilmington, close to major routes for commuting, close to surrounding areas of Chadds Ford, West Chester, Kennett, Wilmington, and everything this area has to offer. Be a part of Wilmington’s history and enjoy creating your own history in this unique and impressive Wilmington home. Be sure to view the floorplans and virtual tour, and schedule a showing today!

    "I've lived on this block for almost 6 years now. For the most part, it is a quiet block with older residents who are retired, a few younger couples that work and maintain our respectable area. Traffic tends to be challenging due to its relative location in downtown Wilmington, however this is minor compared to the conditions of some areas within a half of a square mile. Neighbors are friendly and we look out for each other."
