Dutch House (New Castle, Delaware)

Built during New Castle's colonial period, it is considered one of the oldest houses in the state.

The earliest records of any building on the property refer to "George Moore's log house" in the early 1680s.

[1] The current structure is believed to have been built in the late 17th century in the Federal period and has a distinct brick exterior.

[2] The interior of the house features both Dutch and English building traditions, with decorative finishes and exposed ceiling beams.

It was at this time that a cellar was excavated and three sides of the house were wrapped in a brick exterior.
