Woolton Hall
800 Carr Road, Wilmington, New Castle, Delaware
Built 1855, for Hanson Robinson (1815-1871) and his wife Anne Poultney (1815-1887). Robinson was a wool merchant who made a fortune in Philadelphia. He built his country residence in the Gothic Revival style, naming it named "Woolton Hall". He died at his castle in 1871 and his widow sold it to shipping magnate C. R. Griggs....
In 1893, it was sold again, this time to William du Pont (1855-1928) who renamed it Bellevue Hall. His son, William du Pont, Jr. (1896-1965), spent several years carefully remodelling the castle into an exact replica of his summer home in Virginia, Montpelier.
