The Carlton David Pepper Farm, an agricultural complex and grouping of domestic structures two miles southwest of Georgetown, is one of the finest and least altered examples of nineteenth-century rural Sussex County architecture in existence. The house dates from about 1820, although most of the present structure was built later in the first half of the nineteenth-century - probably in the early 1840's. The agricultural buildings immediately to the rear of the house date from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, with the exception of a modern garage building built during the 1940s.

The Carlton David Pepper House and Farm are located on County Road 469, one-eighth mile north of County Road 518. The house and all buildings, except the poultry house, sit on the east side of Road 469. The poultry house is directly across the road from the house. The structures are located on a 250-acre farm. During the nineteenth century, they were the center of a large plantation totaling about 1,000 acres and including four tenant houses. - NRHP, 24 August 1979
