SENATOR NICHOLAS VAN DYKE HOUSE, 400  Delaware St., built 1799, was the first of three residences built by Senator Van Dyke, son of the Governor, and resembles the Amstel House across the street.  Instead of the broad gable, it has a pediment breaking the long line of eaves, centered above the doorway and its graceful fanlight, in a symmetrical facade.  The shutters of the doorway wing back into the curves of iron guard rails at the top of the stone stoop- Delaware: A Guide to the First State, 1938, pg 246.

The house is as described in the Guide except the shutters for the doorway no longer appear to be present. It is in very good condition and continues to serve as a private residence.
