Some of the history of this location includes the first iron mills in Delaware, and in colonial America. It was called the James' Furnace. The mill was purchased by Andrew Fisher, who expanded the mill and built the house across the street (circa 1740). Part of the original stone mill pond dam, sluice gate, and mill race still exists behind 722 Art Lane. The Fishers supported the war of independence, and supplied material from their mills. General Cornwallis briefly occupied the Fisher house, and quartered troops in the front yard. Years later (1840's), there were also a grist mill, and lumber mill, and a match and fireworks factory here. There was a large brick barn in the front yard, that caught fire while filled with matches and fireworks. The bar was lost, but the Fisher House was saved. This home is a rare find and is ready for a new owner.
