Dover Crystal History

In reality, it’s not very common for homes to go up for sale in Dover Crystal. While mostly farmland in the colonial days, it’s likely the neighborhood at one time was part of a country estate.  Most home construction in the area did not begin until around 1950, with more development following over the next couple up decades.
