註釋This book documents the building of colonial Delaware's finest Georgian mansion by Quaker tanner William Corbit. The size and quality of this house, located in what now seems to be a minor town, is indicative of the wealth and aspirations of those who lived adjacent to Appoquinimink Creek, a tributary of the Delaware River, which served as a grain depot for middle and southern Delaware. Author John A. H. Sweeney locates the man, his house, and his architect in the context of their world.
