Dutch House, Historic house museum in New Castle, Delaware.
The Dutch House features exposed ceiling beams, decorative finishes, and Federal style fireplaces within its brick exterior structure from the late 17th century.
Built around 1690, the structure underwent significant modifications in 1823, including the addition of a full second floor and Federal style renovations.
The museum collection, assembled by Louise du Pont Crowninshield, demonstrates the living conditions and customs of early Dutch colonists in Delaware.
The New Castle Historical Society manages the museum, offering guided tours that explain the architectural evolution and daily life of colonial settlers.
The building's doorstep sits below street level due to 18th-century elevation changes, when a cellar was excavated and brick exterior added.
