The Hale-Byrnes House, located in Stanton, New Castle County, Delaware was built in 1750. The house was built by Samuel Hale, who sold it to Daniel Byrnes in 1754. The house gained historic stature after the Battle of Cooches Bridge, the only Revolutionary War battle in the State of Delaware. After the skirmish General George Washington held a council at the house on September 6, 1777. [1]
