The house at 701 West Street was built about 1745, and is a 3 1/2-story, three bay, quarried granite dwelling with a gable roof. It has an L-shaped, side-hall plan. The house at 703 West Street was built about 1760, and is a 3 1/2-story, three-bay, stuccoed stone dwelling with a gable roof. It is three feet shorter in both length and width than 701. Its interior was altered in the mid-19th century and then in the 1930s to accommodate apartment dwellings. They are excellent examples of the Georgian style. The houses were probably built by Joseph Woodward, a Quaker ropemaker from West Chester, Pennsylvania. There is a legend that the house at 703 contains a hearthstone which was a section of the platform where Thomas Jefferson stood to read the Declaration of Independence to the people of Philadelphia.[2] The houses were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places in Delaware}}{{Delaware-NRHP-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=79000639}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Woodward Houses |author=Jean Athan and John Price |date=November 1978}} and {{NRHP url|id=79000639|title=Accompanying seven photos|photos=y}} 7 : Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Delaware|Georgian architecture in Delaware|Houses completed in 1745|Houses completed in 1760|Houses in Wilmington, Delaware|National Register of Historic Places in Wilmington, Delaware|1745 establishments in the Thirteen Colonies |
