Ryves Holt House

The building, which has been dated to 1680 using dendrochronology, served as one of the earliest inns in the region.

It was run for a time as an ordinary by Philip Russell, who was "recorded as a cupbearer to William Penn".

[1] After coming to "Port Lewes" in 1721, Ryves Holt, the first Chief Justice of Sussex County, purchased the house.

[2] On December 30, 2014, the Ryves Holt House was added to the First State National Historical Park.
