Bridgeville Public Library

Bridgeville Public Library was housed in a historic library building located in Bridgeville, Sussex County, Delaware.  It was built in 1866, and is a 1 1/2-story, three bay, frame structure in the Gothic Revival style. It has a steeply pitched gable roof. There is a one-story gable roofed wing and one-story rear addition. To the front there is a two-story, gable-roofed bell tower and a gable-roofed Colonial Revival open portico. It was originally built to provide a place of worship for the First Presbyterian Church of Bridgeville.  In 1917, the Tuesday Night Club bought the building.  In 1919, the club's Literary Guild organized a circulating library and in 1964, the Tuesday Night Club signed the building over to the Town of Bridgeville for use as a library. The new 13,500 square foot library was opened in 2009. 

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
