Deer Park Farm

Deer Park Farm was a historic home located at Newark in New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1841, and was a three-story, five-bay, center-hall-plan with a shallowly-pitched roof in the Greek Revival style. It had a two-story kitchen wing and one-story library wing. It was the home of James S. Martin, a major developer in Newark in the 1840s and 1850s. In 1909, the property was sold to the Improved Order of Red Men, a fraternal organization, who used it to provide a home for retired Red Men and their wives. From 1953 to 1971, it housed fraternities.[2] The house has been demolished and the property occupied by a Christian Science Church.
