The OES visited the Route 23 Delaware House on June 29, 2003. Obviously by the title, the home was located off Route 23 in Delaware County. From the looks of the house, it may have been built in mid to late 1800s. Its last use seemed to be as a business of some sort, as there were papers and files scattered about the entire house and industrial office furniture in the rooms. We looked through some of the documents and determined that the business probably moved out sometime in the early to mid 1990s. The house and its surrounding acreage were set to be rezoned at the time of our visit. This probably means only one thing for this old house, demolition.

UPDATE: Indeed, the rezoning notice meant demolition for this old home. When driving through the area in 2006, the house was no longer there.
