The Quaker Hill Historic District encompasses a urban community which has been in existence for about 200 years. This neighborhood is important as a microcosm of the development of Wilmington from the mid-eighteenth century to the present. The neighborhood which remains today is characteristic of nineteenth century housing patterns, in which all classes lived in the same neighborhood. For this reason, the area holds fine examples of various nineteenth-century architectural styles.
