Old First Presbyterian Church of Wilmington
Old First Presbyterian Church of Wilmington, Presbyterian church in downtown Wilmington, Delaware.
The brick church building measures 30 feet by 40 feet and features a gambrel roof with traditional architectural elements from the colonial period.
During the American Revolution in 1777, British troops used the church building as a prison and hospital after the Battle of Brandywine.
The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in Delaware maintains the building and organizes educational programs about colonial history.
Visitors can explore the church during public hours on the second Sunday of each month from April through October between 2 PM and 4 PM.
In 1916, workers dismantled the entire structure brick by brick from its Market Street location and reconstructed it at its current site on Brandywine Park Drive.
