Description: Jacob Broom House as photographed by Jack E. Boucher of HABS/NPS. Described as "Location: New Castle County, about 1 mile northwest of the Wilmington city limits, just north of New Bridge Road (Del. 141), Montchanin." which corresponds to the NRHP site Eleutherian Mills, listed November 13, 1966, North of Wilmington on Delaware Route 141 at Brandywine Creek Bridge 39°46′50″N 75°34′30″W Wilmington. Broom was the least known of the signers of the US Constitution. His House is a National Historic Landmark. He sold it and his mill to Eleuthere DuPont and the rest is history, except for the 3 or 4 NRHP sites that seem to occupy the same property. See Brandywine Powder Mills District, and Brandywine Manufacturers Sunday School. The house is also known as Hagley and we have an article for Hagley Library and Museum
