| Top Pictures: The 1865 Mount Pleasant School still stands at 1010 Philadelphia Pike (New Castle County parcel # 0612400038) across from the Mount Pleasant Meeting House. The location of the 1865 schoolhouse is now a private residence. Only the first story stone structure remains. The building has been completely renovated since originally constructed in 1865. |
| Bottom Picture: This is a view from from the rear of the 1865 schoolhouse. Notice the Delaware River in the background. The name Mount Pleasant may have originated from this high elevation in northern Delaware. The Cauffiel Estate, now on the property of Bellevue State Park, still resides slightly down the hill on the right hand side of this picture. |

| The Mount Pleasant Meeting House (built in 1838) and parsonage is on the property of Bellevue State Park in Wilmington. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A restored sanctuary with its original decorative amber windows and walnut pews, the meeting house offers a simple, yet tranquil setting. A few steps away is the parsonage’s restored Victorian parlor. The meeting house accommodates 120 people. |
