The Ridgely House, Dover, Delaware

A BOYHOOD HAUNT OF CÆSAR RODNEY, THE SIGNER On the Green in Dover, Delaware, is one of the most striking houses of the quaint old town-the Ridgely house. The date of its erection is not certain, but it is an interesting fact that on one of the bricks is the OVER THE MASON AND DIXON LINE 209 date 1728. Originally there were but two rooms in the house; subsequent enlargements have been so harmonious that one who sees the place from the Green must pause to admire. Admiration turns to delight when the interior of the house is examined. The old-fashioned garden at the rear intensifies delight.
