Brick Hotel, also known as the Wilmington Trust Co., Georgetown Office, is a historic hotel located at Georgetown, Sussex County, Delaware. It was built in 1836, and is a 2 1⁄2-story, seven-bay, brick structure in a transitional Federal / Greek Revival style. It has a one-story, rear kitchen wing, and a one-story wing attached to it and dated to the 1930s. It has a slate-tiled roof, double end chimneys, and a modern Greek Revival style verandah. The exterior was altered in 1955, when it was converted from its original use as a hotel to its use as a bank building.[2] In 2008, it was converted back to a hotel.[3] On August 28, 2021, the Brick Hotel closed permanently, with the building having been leased for office space.[4]
The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
