The Daily Delawhere – November 4, 2016

Bayard Sharp Hall, at Main Street & Delaware Avenue in Newark. The University of Delaware building was originally St. Thomas Episcopal Church. The church was built in 1844. When the congregation moved to South College Avenue in 1956, the church became the town library, until a new library was built on Library Avenue in 1974. The university saved the structure from demolition, and turned it into a performing arts center in 1999.
