About New Castle
The New Castle Historic District covers about four square blocks in the city center, with roughly 500 historic buildings built between 1700 and 1940.
The Dutch laid out the town's street grid and a common green at its center, which is still there.
The New Castle Court House, the Green and the Sheriff's House are part of First State National Historical Park.
New Castle includes the historic district New Castle Historic District. Older brick chimneys there often need matched brick and mortar, so we look at the house before we plan the work.
What This Means for Your New Castle Chimney
Winters are hard on masonry

Half of the homes in New Castle were built before 1963, and 34.1% date from before 1940, so many chimneys here still run on original clay tile or unlined brick, and mortar joints that old need repointing on a schedule. With about 92 freezing nights a year in New Castle County, water that gets into a crack freezes and widens it again and again, which is why we check the crown and flashing on every visit.
