The Review article

University of Delaware "The Review"
Numerous area residents expressed their concerns Wednesday before the Historic Review Board of New Castle County regarding the imminent threat to historical sites that anchor the heart of Aiken's Tavern historic district in Glasgow.
The Chancellor Development Group filed an application with the county's Department of Land Use for the demolition of a historic house and barn located at the junction of U.S. Route 40 and Del. Route 896.
David Rigone of the Chancellor Development Group is acting as an agent for Claude Melvin and Audrey Brooks, the current owners and residents of the home. He could not be reached for comment.
Residents are concerned that the development group plans to replace the house with a chain store.
The current structure does not meet the needs of this type of store.
The Brooks' house is a two-story brick house, circa 1830 or earlier, which residents believe serves as the linchpin of the historical community.
The Barczewski farm, a 240-acre property located behind the house, is also in danger as developers are seeking to purchase the land.
