Edgemoor Terrace edit

With the enactment of Federal Housing Administration legislation in 1934, the federal government began an active role in assisting the financing of suburban housing. It was through the assistance of this program that Edgemoor Terrace, on Governor Printz Boulevard, was built in 1939 and 1940 and the first example of large scale development in the state of Delaware. Edgemoor Terrace was a early example of development in which the land was subdivided and all the houses were built in a short period of time. There are two or three basic styles of houses, each varied by being rotated by 90' to provide visual interest. This patter and the subsequent decline in architectural variety became the standard of many suburban plans of the 1950s. Initially the streets were graded but unpaved, so first home owners in Edgemoor Terrace, undertook the task of paving them and later negotiated with the county to assume responsibility for future maintenance.
