Zachariah Ferris House
Zachariah Ferris House, Historic residence in Wilmington, Delaware, United States.
The Zachariah Ferris House stands as a two-story brick dwelling measuring 29 feet wide and 18 feet deep with a gable roof and distinctive window arrangements.
Built between 1718 and 1749, the property was owned by notable figures including Congressman Louis McLane and U.S. Senator Outerbridge Horsey before its National Register listing.
The brick panel between second-floor windows displays rows of numerals and letters created with dark glazed headers, representing early American architectural craftsmanship.
The Delaware Historical Society maintains this structure within the Old Town Hall Commercial Historic District, following its 1976 relocation to Willistown Square.
This early farmhouse exemplifies continuous occupation by professional and working families, preserving over 250 years of residential history in Delaware.
