Yesterday on Delaware Avenue

by Marjorie McNinch

The avenue that bears their state's name is well known to any Wilmingtonian. What he or she may not be aware of are the myriad changes that this thoroughfare has undergone throughout the decades.

Yesterday on Delaware Avenue brings to light this evolution from its earliest days to its currently evolving and growing mode. Marjorie McNinch’s research reveals many details that will delight and evoke pleasurable reminiscences as we follow the growth of Delaware Avenue outward from downtown to Greenhill Avenue.

Heavily illustrated with over thirty-five vintage pictures, many never before published, this book is a must have for anyone even remotely interested in Wilmington’s history.
