Notes
  • Significance: Few buildings can boast of such a record of continual community service as Wilmington's Old Town Hall. From its erection in 1798 to the present, it has been a viable part of the City. It has kept pace with the needs of its citizens by serving as both a political base, a cultural center,, and the City Goal. Today, it is one of only three extant public buildings in the area erected prior to 1800. It may be considered an architectural hallmark of historic Wilmington, for its refined details and graceful proportions make it exemplary of Georgian architecture.
