Rockwood Manor

Rockwood Mansion, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is an English Country Estate in America. The Mansion, built between 1851-1854, is an excellent example of Rural Gothic Revival Architecture. Rockwood Mansion was built for Joseph Shipley, a merchant banker originally from Wilmington. The Mansion was Shipley's retirement home. Shipley spent most of his life in Liverpool, England where he became wealthy. Rockwood Mansion was inspired by Wyncote, Joseph Shipley's English country house designed by George Williams. Shipley had Williams design Rockwood Mansion, though he had never seen the site. Joseph Shipley moved his entire household from England bringing his favorite dog and horse (Toby and Branker) as well as gardener Robert Shaw and housekeeper Audrey Douglas.

Investigators Notes:

Hosted by Shannon Sylvia www.shannonsylvia.com, this investigation was performed in a more period style method. Wearing clothes from the 1800's to hopefully bring out the past, this investigation was truly a great experience. Even though not much was captured on audio or video, the location is truly one amazing place. The grounds of the rockwood manor are truly beautiful not to mention the home. Inside still has the furniture, clothing and much more from when the family lived there.
