2601 Shandy Lane
A land grant from King George II to Thomas Conner in 1737 marks the early
beginnings of Shandy Hall. Shandy derived its name from the book “Tristram
Shandy”, written around 1745 by English author Lawrence Sterne, who was
later a guest in the home. It is said to have been a “Portuguese Inn” for sailors
during the Revolutionary War. Later, during the Civil War, the home was used
as the headquarters of General Whiting and the Government Salt Works. As
such, it became a military target, and there remained in the 1960’s salt pans
and cannon balls fired by Union ships, that never struck their target. Jonathan
Worth was in charge of the Salt Works, and the Worth family, who maintained
a home on Third Street, kept the home in the family for many years as a summer home. It was a good place to escape the
outbreak of malaria and yellow fever in Wilmington in 1821 and 1862. Time and development have moved on, as have the
orchards, the gardens, the cattle and stable, but the house and the central part of the property remain. It is a warm and
peaceful part of the world. $1,999,999 | MLS# 100007516
