One architectural feature not mentioned on your video is the sidelapped shingle roofs found on several of the site's outbuildings. Rare examples of this once common roof type in the mid Atlantic now only found on savvy historic properties. Also called feather edge shingles they are tapered both lengthwise and widthwise. They are installed with not only courses that overlap vertically, but also neighboring shingles overlap along their long edges and face nailed in the lower exposed corner of each shingle. Unlike conventional roofs the joints are not staggered but are aligned vertically from drip edge to ridge similar to clay tiles. The overlapping edges provide the redundancy to shed water. Each nail penetrates through 6 layers of shingles and yet only one nail per shingle is needed, which is half as many as of conventional shingled roofs. ALSO, the video shows a shingle horse inside one of the outbuildings, which is a seated wood clamp that a craftsperson uses to rive shingle with a draw knife. Thanks for the tour of this fine historic property.
You really should go. They have great staff & the grounds are fabulous. When leaving out the driveway turn right. 2 miles down the road you will hit the pirates hangout of Kitts Hummock... BTW ask about John & the squirrel attack...
I enjoy your walks along the coast. I'm in Philly. We have magnolias too.Somewhere along the way you mentioned a wife whose last name was Cadwalader. Wm. Penns second wife was a Cadwalader. That's why we have a street of the same name downtown. The Dickinson family may have a Penn connection. That would tie in with no slaves, etc.
It's interesting to see how just a little further north, the plantation homes were more middle colony architecture. The Virginia homes are more stately Southern colonial style.
A catalpa tree. Its comes from a native american name. They say the native americans would smoke the long seed pods that hand from thr tree. Another good video.
Smoking catalpa is not recommended. It's a misnomer,just the bean resembled a cigar,so they are sometimes referred to as "cigar trees". I used to have a yard full of them,they reseed like crazy and the root system will grow into plumbing pipes,bad trees,the blooms in spring stink.

Sir, I don’t know any Quakers… I was friends with an Amish family in Western MD. Slavery is an interesting subject… Marriage. A legal situation… one is the home maker… one the bread winner… Marriage is an awfully difficult situation. Emancipation… well, laws stipulated… to some … cannot stay in the same State…thus many crossed elsewhere! Divorce is “Emancipatiin” in a way…

I don’t live too far from there and never been. I believe it’s on the South side of the airbase. I think of it whenever I see the sign.

lets goooooo shout out delaware
Dickinson is the Pedigree ancestry name of the Freeman Ramsey family of Virginia.
If you get the chance to watch the 1972 musical "1776." You'll see his character have a pretty prominent role. I highly recommend the movie.
Thanks for the recommendation. Ok I'll have to check it out.
Catalwba tree or as we knew it Johnny Smoker tree.

Very interesting architecture!! Great news about your drone footage, kudos to you and please post the link to the commercial so we can check it out!!
Unfortunately the guy didn't get back to me. : /. Hopefully they ended up using it. Pretty helpful to get some gas money though!
