The Delaware State Review Board for Historic Preservation will hold its next regular business meeting from 10 a.m. to noon on Wednesday, April 16, 2025.

During this meeting, the board will consider the National Register nomination for Independence Mall, located at 1901 Concord Pike, Wilmington. Please note this nomination was presented during the January 15, 2025, State Review Board meeting, but the board was unable to vote on the nomination at that time due to a lack of quorum.

The board will also consider the National Register nomination for the Mitchell-Biden House, located at 228 North Star Road in Newark.
Other topics during the meeting include a National Register certificate presentation for the Isaacs and Sons Cold Storage Building in Georgetown and a summary of discussion points regarding the bylaws from the January 2025 board meeting.

The Delaware State Review Board for Historic Preservation serves as an advisory body to the State Historic Preservation Officer, the State official who has been appointed by the governor to oversee and implement the state’s preservation policies in accordance with federal standards. State review boards were created to function primarily as professional bodies that can objectively evaluate the historic significance of properties and provide professional advice on historic preservation matters. In order to accomplish this, a majority of the members must meet minimum professional requirements established in regulation by the National Park Service and represent certain professional disciplines established by the National Historic Preservation Act and amplified in regulation by the National Park Service.For additional information, please contact Emily Whaley, Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs architectural historian at emily.whaley@delaware.gov or by calling 302-736-7406.
