Old Statehouse, Georgian architecture government building in Dover, Delaware.
The Old Statehouse exhibits symmetrical proportions with a red brick exterior, multi-paned windows, and white trim details characteristic of colonial governmental structures.
The building served as Delaware's primary legislative center from its construction in the 1700s until 1933, hosting numerous critical state decisions and political assemblies.
The structure maintains permanent exhibitions of governmental artifacts, legislative documents, and period furnishings that demonstrate Delaware's political development through centuries.
