Summary
| Description |
English: In 1688 John Ladd, a surveyor of Philadelphia for William Penn, became the possessor of about 7,000 acres of heavily timbered land, fronting on the Delaware River, forming what was first called Cork's Cove, then Ladd's Cove. In later years this became known as Howell's Cove, and later Washington Park (see below). This area is frequently spoken of as the "Horse Shoe," and lies between Gloucester and Red Bank (or Eagles) Point. Shortly after the purchase of this tract of land, Ladd built the Manor House, "Candor Hall," (that exists on Lafayette Street in West Deptford). The main portion of this house was of brick made on the grounds, and flanked on either end by expansive wings: of hewn timber. The brick two-story portion is still standing on Lafayette Street in Colonial Manor, W. Deptford NJ |
