Philips-Thompson Buildings

Philips-Thompson Buildings was a set of two historic commercial buildings located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. They were built about 1884, and were two three-story, red brick buildings. They had a row of square decorative terra cotta tiles divides the second and third stories. They featured a corbelled brick cornice and sunburst decorations capping the central bays. The buildings housed a wholesale farm supply company, wholesale grocers and produce shops. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

The buildings have been demolished. A two-story office building now sits on the site that was originally built for First Chicago Bank but is now occupied by Chase Bank.
