Notes
  • Significance: The Shannon Hotel, an integral part of the Christiana Historic District, is strategically situated at the village's main intersection, now formed by Delaware Routes 7 and 273. This important colonial crossroads linked Christiana with Philadelphia and the province of Maryland. This two-story, three-bay, brick dwelling, with a Flemish-bond facade, spanned by a pent eave. was apparently constructed by 1766. The structure, which was occupied by William Shannon, an innkeeper, in the late eighteenth century, was used as a tavern for many years.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: FN-34
  • Survey number: HABS DE-190
