The GEMMILL HOUSE, 18 3rd St., was built about 1801 for John Wiley by Peter Crowding. Constructed of brick, the house has marked simplicity and dignity. The well-designed fanlight above the entrance door, the broad windows of 24 panes, the single dormer repeating the motif of the eve pediment, are pleasing details. In the interior, the fine woodwork, now painted white, is of mahogany. - Delaware: A Guide to the First State, 1938, pg 244.
The house is much as described in the Guide. The house is very well maintained and continues to serve as a private residence.
