An inn, one of several built in Delaware

towns during this period, was established

on this corner at the end of the 18th century

and remained open until the end of the

19th century. This site was purchased by

Abel Ableman and occupied from 1902

until 1987, and the old inn was used as

the family home for the family of Abel and

Fannie Ableman including sons Benjamin,

Maurice, Louie and Meyer, and daughters

Pearl Greenberg and Minnie Goldstrum.

A contribution towards the purchase of this

facility by the town of Millsboro was

provided in 1992 in loving memory of the

Ableman family by Abel Ableman's

youngest son, Meyer, a resident of Millsboro

since his birth.
