3 80 Oak Avenue, also known as Goose Landing, was built by the dupont family as a hunting lodge in 1927 and is now available for the first time in over 55 years. The home sits on nearly an acre near downtown Rehoboth with the backyard joining Lake Gerar and is three blocks from the beach. A branch of the dupont family agreed with the City of Rehoboth Beach to clean up the wetlands and make it a proper lake, now Lake Gerar, in exchange for nearby lands. Goose Landing is registered with The Historical Society of Rehoboth Beach and won The Residential Preservation Award by The Rehoboth Beach Cottage and Town Committee in Purchased by James and Mary Campbell in about 1960 from Townie" Tubbs, with the agreement written on a cocktail napkin, the Tubbs family split the lot to build their home next door at 78 Oak Avenue. James F. Campbell was Chairman of the Board and Managing Director of Esso Standard Oil - South Africa, Consultant - East Africa, Caribbean Area Regional Manager - Havana, Cuba, President and Director Esso Standard Oil - Puerto Rico, Assistant Regional Manager Esso Standard of Central America - Panama and Vice-President and General Manager Esso Standard Santiago, Chile.
