Last evening we went with the Coastal Camera Club to the county seat, Georgetown, DE to take pictures of the grand old hotel there, the Brick Hotel on the Circle. The hotel dates back to the 1800s where it was a popular inn for Union sympathizers and travelers, served as a temporary courthouse from 1837-1842, then was a bank, then was restored and is on the National Historic Registry. During Civil War days, the nearby Eagle Hotel supported Southern sympathizers and brawls frequently occurred between the North and the South on the circle!
Mostly restored, with a newly built southwest wing of five themed rooms, here is The Brick Hotel, Restaurant and Tavern taken from the Circle.
Beautifully decorated trees are found throughout the lobby and eating areas.
