Constructed in 1791 by order of the State Legislature, this structure served as the seat of Sussex County government until 1837 when it was sold and moved to this location to make way for the construction of the present County Courthouse. It was later used as a private residence and it also served as a printing shop. On Sept 20, 1962, the building and lot were conveyed to the State of Delaware. A major renovation project was undertaken in 1974 with funding provided by the State and National Park Service. The building was dedicated on Return Day in 1976; in honor the the nation's bicentenniel.
