Wawaset Park, Wilmington, Delaware
Wawaset Park is a planned community national historic district located on the western edge of the City of Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. The area was formerly the grounds of Schuetzen Park, a horse racing and later auto racing track and fairgrounds. It was purchased in 1917 by the DuPont Company and developed into single-family houses, semi-detached and row houses to meet the housing need for the company's expanding corporate staff. The historic district encompasses 321 contributing buildings and 1 contributing structure.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Wawaset Park Historic District ) and (Accompanying 25 photos )〕
The neighborhood's design by noted Baltimore architect Edward L. Palmer, Jr., with curvilinear streets and ample lawns giving it the setting of a suburb within the city, was influenced by the work of Frederick Law Olmsted, and its architecture includes Tudor cottages, Georgian mansions, and elements of the Picturesque and Gothic styles. The dwellings are unified by slate roofing.〔(Delaware Avenue / Bankcroft Parkway Neighborhood Comprehensive Development Plan )〕
The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.〔
