Old Town Hall, Georgian administrative building in Market Street, Wilmington, United States.
The Old Town Hall stands as a two-story brick structure with a sloping roof and an octagonal cupola at 512 Market Street.
The building served as the center of Wilmington's municipal government from its construction in 1798 until 1916, when city operations relocated.
Delaware Historical Society maintains this Federal-style building, which hosted notable figures including President Andrew Jackson and Marquis de Lafayette.
Visitors can explore the Old Town Hall during guided tours from Wednesday through Sunday between 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
The structure's original bronze bell, cast in England and purchased by merchant Joseph Tatnall, rang hourly from the cupola between 1800 and 1875.
