Erected in 1874 on the site of the Courthouse of 1691, which had replaced a still earlier version that the court had ordered 'Burnt to get ye nails.' From 1722 to 1863, the site was occupied by a tavern under a series of innkeepers. A new courthouse, located nearby, was completed in 2011. The old building continues to host the Court of Chancery, which resolves disputes involving Delaware corporations.
