The Brick Hotel - Georgetown, Delaware - Converted Bank Buildings on Waymarking.com

Delaware State Historical Plaque, SC-139 states this building was a bank from the mid 1950's until 1998.
The following is what is written on the sign:
This locally famous landmark was constructed in 1836 by Joshua S. Layton and Caleb B. Sipple, builders of the Sussex County Courthouse across the Square. It replaced a frame Public House that had stood on the site. County courts were held here during construction of the Courthouse 1837-39. The accomodations and hospitality of the house made this a popular stopping place for both residents and visitors to the County Seat.
Known for a time as the Union Hotel, this was a well-known gathering-place for northern sympathizers during the Civil War. After the war, business flourished with the coming of the railroad. With the advent of the automobile, the number of lodgers began to decline, and the hotel was closed in the mid-1950’s. The building was later renovated and used as a bank until 1998. The Brick Hotel was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
