Facts and practical information

St. Thomas Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at 21 South Main Street in Newark, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1843–45 and designed by noted architect Richard Upjohn. It is a one-story, three bay wide brick structure built of brick with stucco facing and a gable roof. It features a 35-foot entrance tower, added in 1866, and is in the Gothic Revival style. In 1956 the building was deconsecrated when the parish moved to a larger church. It has since been bought, restored, and renovated by the University of Delaware, installing a 1,234 pipe organ in the process. The building is now used as a music recital and event hall by the university. ()
