This house was built in 1883 for the family of Ebenezer Wiley Johnson, a prominent local citizen. Originally built in the Second Empire architectural style, it was altered to a classical revival appearance after 1922 by Johnson's daughter and son-in-law, Frances Lillian and William Perry McCammon, to accommodate a funeral home. Still exhibiting Victorian-era design, the structure is notable for its giant order Doric columns and pediment features.

Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l’automne
Blessent mon coeur
D’une langueur
Monotone.
Extraits de “La chanson d’automne”, poème de Paul Vertaine
La première partie fut radiodiffusée sur la BBC dans la nuit du 1er au 2 juin 1944 pour annoncer l’éventualité d’un débarguement allié en France.
Le seconde partie fut radiodiffusée dans le soirée du 5 juin 1944. Elle confirmait, auprès de La Résistance, l’imminence de Débarquement.

This fort played a vital role in Christiansted’s international trade. Built at harbor’s edge to protect commercial shipping from pirates and privateers, the fort embodied colonists’ fears as well as economic strength. Here were quartered Danish troops whose primary duty was internal security…to safeguard the island against slave insurrections.
Albert Gallatin bought this land in 1786 when this area was known as the “Western Country.” Three years later he constructed a two-story brick house at Friendship Hill for his new bride, Sophie. After Sophie died, Gallatin built additions to the house in 1798 in 1823 for his second wife, Hannah, and their children. 
From 1834 to 1854 the Portage Railroad passed beneath the Skew Arch Bridge. The original hand hewn stone bridge was built at right angles to the railroad. A right angle turn was arduous for a wagon to negotiate; therefore to make the crossing compatible the bridge was turned, or skewed. This compromise lasted for the twenty years the portage railroad operated.
This body of water was created in 1816, when a
grist mill was established on Clear Brook Branch
at this location by Nathaniel Ross. Known by
various names, most notebly those of two early
owners, William Cannon and William Ross, the
mill was destroyed by fire in 1879. The Cannon
and Ross Mill became known as Hearn's Mill when
Marcellus Hearn bought the property in 1885. The
Corn Stone from the original mill was saved from
the fire and installed in the new mill which was
erected in its place. Hearn later installed rollers
for grinding grain to replace the traditional
wheel turned stones, making the mill more
efficient for flour production. George H. Hearn
and Mary Rawlins, Marcellus' son and daughter,
took over the mill following his death in 1916.
Hearn and Rollins Flour Mill continued in the
possession of the family members until 1999, when it
was purchased by the United Nation of Islam. The
mill structure was added to the National Register
of Historic Places in 1978. Hearn's Pond is now
the property of the State of Delaware.
