Walking Tour Of Delanco’s Riverfront Historic District
Walking Tour of Delanco’s Riverfront Historic DistrictNotes provided by Peter Fritz, Chair, Delanco Preservation Advisory BoardIt is well-established that the area at the confluence of the Rancocas Creek and the Delaware was home topaleo Indians 10,000 years ago. Many sites have been documented. The Lenni Lenape of the Woodland periodwere active in this area until the coming of the Europeans in the early 1600s. Waves of Dutch, Belgian andSwedish explorers established outposts here, but were eventually pushed out by English Quakers in the later1670s. Several of these Quaker families were especially influential in the settlement of our area.Fenimore Family: The family descends from Richard Fenimore, one of the original party of English Quakers,who immigrated to America aboard the Kent, landing in Burlington City in 1677. Richard settled in Wellingborotownship and amassed a great deal of property. Richard established a large farm in the Beverly-Delanco areabelow the first Jacob Perkins farm. It remained in the family for many years and was described as 350 acres ina will dated 1756, much of which became the town of Delanco.In 1788, a later Richard Fenimore was considered the second richest man in Willingboro Township, based ondeclarations on local tax rolls. Richard had three daughters, but no sons: Elizabeth who married WilliamCooper, and Rachel who married John Heaton. These marriages occurred within a week of each other. Hisyoungest daughter, Rebecca married Paul Wilmerton. Fenimore gave considerable acreage to each of hisdaughters on the occasion of their marriages. William and Elizabeth Cooper were gifted land on the GreatRoad and established an inn and the hamlet of Cooper Town at that location. The Heaton and Wilmertonfarms constituted much of what would become the village of Delanco.Perkins Family: In 1748 Abraham Perkins acquired property and built a farmhouse on the bank of theDelaware River just north of the point where the Rancocas joins. The property remained in the Perkins familyfor several generations until 1848 when it was sold to James Wilson Wallace, a principal in the Delaware LandCompany.Fletcher Family: Thomas S. Fletcher was born in New Hampshire in 1787; elder brother of Charles Fletcher.Thomas moved to Boston in 1806 and apprenticed to a shopkeeper. His name first appears in a Bostondirectory in 1809 as a jeweler working for silversmith Sidney Gardiner with his younger brother Charles.Gardiner took Thomas and Charles to Philadelphia in 1811 where they continued the trade for some years.About 1825 Fletcher married Melina deGrasse Vernon of Massachusetts. They had eight children. ThomasFletcher’s business partner, Charles Gardiner died in 1827 while abroad. Fletcher then worked in partnershipwith Calvin W. Bennett until the business failed and went to auction about 1842. The Fletchers also operated aboarding house in Philadelphia. In 1848 the Fletcher family purchased 30 acres from Richard Wilmerton inDelanco to establish a vineyard. In 1850, they sold the Philadelphia boarding house and moved the family toDelanco to concentrate on the winery, which operated for over fifty years. Thomas spent the remainder of hislife in Delanco where he died in 1866. Most of this acreage remained as farmland until after 1920.The village of Delaranco was an invention of Richard Wilmerton, who laid out a community and secured acharter in 1848. Richard sold 30 acres to the Fletchers in 1848 for a vineyard and winery. Wilmerton’s villagelay along the Rancocas Creek and was largely populated by fishermen and factory workers. The DelawareRiverfront was acquired from the Perkins family by the Delaware Land Company – A group of wealthyindustrialists from Philadelphia. These larger lots were developed into summer homes for wealthyPhiladelphia society. Eventually the two communities merged to become Delanco as we know it today. It wasindependently incorporated in 1926. It is this Delaware waterfront that we will tour today.
Delanco Riverview Park – 330 Delaware AveThis newest addition to Delanco’s waterfront wasformerly part of the Zurbrugg estate which waspurchased by the township in 2006. It was retainedwhen the rest of the property was sold in 2008.Original Woods gazebo. Note steamer at wharf beyond330 Delaware Avenue between Union Ave and Willow.Similar view of the wharf during visit by the ColumbiaView from foot of Union AvenueThe gazebo platform and roof had been rebuilt atleast once and the original 24” wooden railingswere later replaced by inappropriate wrought ironfencing. The structure became underwashed andwas finally demolished in 2007.For over 130 years a Victorian gazebo sat on theriverbank. It was originally built about 1870 tomatch the architectural style of the Woods Mansion.Support posts and eave details matched the porchdetail on the Woods Mansion. When the Zurbruggsmoved the Woods mansion, they left the gazebo atthe riverfront site.We hope that Delanco will eventually replace thestructure, which was a popular feature on thewaterfront for 140 years.The replacement gazebo most folks remember
401 Delaware S Delware Ave at Cedar1748Abraham Perkins farm/Diehl Wilson House“Windswept”(probably the son of John listed above). In 1925John Diehl claimed that the original farmhouse wasover 200 years old. When Susan Diehl lived in thehouse it was known as Windswept. She was listedin residence as Susan M. Diehl (wid. Miller) in the1929 Delanco Directory.The Diehls constructed a second addition, includinga 2-car garage, to the east side of the originalfarmhouse.William and Geraldine Diehl-WilsonBackyard view with garden houseFrequently named as the oldest residence inDelanco, the original structure was a 2-storyfarmhouse built by Delanco pioneer AbrahamPerkins in 1748. The property remained in thePerkins family until 1838 when it was purchased byJames Wilson Wallace, Esq., a partner in theDelaware Land Co.In 1848 Mr. Wallace constructed a major 2-storyaddition to the western end of the originalfarmhouse. The house appears on the WilmertonDelaranco Map of 1852.In 1856 the property was acquired by John H. &Elizabeth S. Diehl. It remained in the hands of theDiehl family for the next 140 years. The shorelinefeature became known as Diehl’s Point on maps.The owners in 1883 were listed as John H. DiehlWilliam & Geraldine Diehl-Wilson were listed inresidence in 1976 and 1984. Mr. & Mrs. PhilipBrackett were listed as owners in 2003 and residethere currently.415? Delaware SC. 1855?B. Laguerenne House (site)On the 1859 Delanco map, the name B. Laguerenneappears next to the Diehl-Wilson property. TheLaguerennes were Philadelphia industrialists withlarge mills located on the Schuylkill River. Thiswas perhaps a summer home or vacation retreat forthe family. On 1849 maps the Laguerenne familyname appears at the east end of Delanco, just southof Burlington Pike near Perkins Lane. This may bethe home of the parent. The matriarch of the familyclaims to have descended from a well-to-do Frenchfamily of Haiti. The family appears to have latermoved to Guerrera Mexico.
426 Delaware NC. 1916Kathryn & Tommy FitzpatrickHouseboat Cottage (site)This is the site of the former houseboat cottage ofThomas C. “Tommy” and Kathryn Fitzpatrick,grandparents of township committee member KateFitzpatrick.

Tommyconstructed the houseboat to be seaworthy, but heset it on a stone foundation on the bank of the river.They tied it to the phone pole for safety. TheFitzpatrick family was listed at there in the 1929Delanco Directory. After Tommy’s death the structure430 Delaware Avenuewas sold, launched, and towed away to a new location.Tale of Four MansionsNote the brick pillars - Part of the Zurbrugg estate andlisted on the national historic registry – They areconsidered the gateway to Delanco’s Riverfront HistoricDistrict.500 block Delaware N?Fenimore-Cooper Manor House (site)1795A little-known chapter of Delanco history is that, for abrief period, the family of noted author James FenimoreCooper had a grand riverfront mansion on the Delaware.The exact location is suspected, but not yet confirmed.According to the Burlington County Historical Society,William Cooper of Byberry, Pennsylvania marriedElizabeth Fenimore, the daughter of Rancocas Quakerlandowner Richard Fenimore in 1789. In the early 1780sthe couple established a tavern and a small communityon the Great Road (Route 130) in Wellingborough thatcame to be known as Cooper’s Town.Tommy Fitzpatrick – Delanco WatermanThe Cooper’s moved to Burlington City, where JamesCooper was born in 1789. He legally added the nameFenimore in later years.Eighteen months later William Cooper moved his familyto Otsego County in upstate New York where he hadpurchased 29,350 acres and established a secondcommunity called Coopertown.Appointed a Judge, William Cooper, a Federalist, waselected to the fourth and sixth US Congress, which metat Philadelphia. He served from 1795-1797 and 17991801.To be near the city, William built a “grand riverfrontmansion as befits a congressman” here in 1795,probably on land acquired from his brother-in-lawRichard Heaton.
Young James Cooper would have frequently visitedhere, spending formative years on the banks of theDelaware in our town. The family sold the mansionabout 1801 and all trace of it has since been lost.Research continues on this important site.Interesting find: 1794 Liberty Large Cap Cent found byRon Manka in the river mud off the foot of Willow St.Judge William CooperThe Cooper’s son James grew to become the greatAmerican Author, James Fenimore Cooper.James Fenimore Cooper (1789 – 1851)505 Delaware Ave at Willow StreetWoods Mansion originally built 1870Moved to 229 Willow St in 1910This is the approximate address of the 3-storyMansard Victorian Woods Mansion.

The first photo is acolorized postcard showing the mansion in thisoriginal location.In 1908 the property was purchased by Theophilusand Lizette Mueller Zurbrugg, who had the mansionmoved to its current location. The purpose was twofold: The Zurbruggs needed the additional propertyto construct their grand mansion and they planned
to preserve the Woods Mansion as a guest house.The move was performed by Hartschorn & Co. ofMoorestown using wooden rollers and teams ofhorses.Theophilus Zurbrugg suffered a second stroke anddied in 1912. The Woods property was sold and themansion was occupied by a succession of residents,including Fred & Elizabeth Bohnberger, who addeda rear addition and were operating it as a boardinghouse in 1913. Subsequent owners included Fred &Elizabeth Hunt, who operated Hunt’s SuperService; and Dr. Alan M.

He educated his own slaves,as far as he was able (their education beingcontrary to the laws of Louisiana), and adopted asystem by which they could work out theirfreedom. He even purchased slaves to give themthis opportunity, and thus aided them in gainingtheir liberty.To avoid the influence of slavery in his own family,he moved north to Philadelphia in 1856.
