List of Buildings

A list of the Historic buildings in Smyrna, Delaware by location. (Very incomplete.)

Main Street, North - 34, "The Delaware House"

Constructed in 1817, the Delaware House began as a two-story, five bay dwelling. The building was most recently renovated in 2005 when it was transformed into 5 condominiums.

Main Street, North - 107 - Alexander Griswold Cummins, Sr. Mansion

Alexander Griswold Cummins, Sr. Mansion constructed in 1875, considered to be one of the finest examples of Carpenter Gothic Architecture in the state of Delaware.

Main Street, North - 115 - The John Black Mansion

115 North Main Street, Smyrna Delaware - "The John Black Mansion" built in 1845.

Main Street, South - 107, The Smyrna Opera House

Designed by Smyrna native R. Mitchell, the Old Town Hall was constructed in 1869. As with many civic buildings of the day, Smyrna’s Town Hall housed several different uses, including the town’s Opera House. Additions to the Hall in 1887 allowed space for a Fire Department, Police Department, jail, and fraternal lodge. In 1948, the Hall’s third story and clock tower were destroyed by a fire set inadvertently by Christmas lights. Renovations resulted in a two-story flat-roofed structure; the Old Town Hall would remain that way for 55 years. The Smyrna Clayton Heritage Association unveiled the reconstructed third story mansard roof and bell tower in 2003.
