Bloomingdale's importance is primarily its architectural merit; secondarily its builder and subsequent owners. It represents the architectural transition from an English Georgian building style to an American style, which is evident in the interior woodwork. It also represents the tangible achievement of the Seth family after owning the land for over one hundred years (1685-1808).(Submitted on February 24, 2026, by Pete Skillman of Townsend, Delaware.)
