Lower Louviers And Chicken Alley
Lower Louviers and Chicken Alley, also known as Louviers and Duck Street, is a historic home located near Wilmington in New Castle County, Delaware. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
History
The house was built in 1811 and is a two-story to three-story, five-bay, stuccoed stone dwelling. The three center bays project slightly from the main body of the home. In 1935, a kitchen wing was added to the other end of the residence, plus a gated wall and garage.
The home was owned by members of the prominent Du Pont family. At the back of the house is "Chicken Alley", an excellent example of a 19th-century workers' row house.
