Church Street Historic District is a national historic district located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It encompasses 26 contributing buildings, 22 of which are single family fully attached rowhouse dwellings. They are primarily two-story, brick structures. It also includes a large Second Empire building which was originally a saloon and hotel, a bar and restaurant which also has Second Empire elements, and a smaller Queen Anne style store. The area developed between about 1880 and 1920 and many residents worked for the railroad.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]

Education

Residents are in the Christina School District.[3] They are zoned to Bancroft School (K-5),[4] Bayard School (for grades 6–8),[5] and Newark High School.[6]
