   Delaware Avenue at Clayton Street, across from the Trolley Square shopping center.

   A bit of the google finds this (with a nice rundown of west side architecture):

   It was across from the B & O train station, which was demolished in the 1960s. Like the Flatiron Building in NYC, this speaks to an earlier time when Wilmington was so prosperous and so densely developed that the real estate values made it actually worthwhile to put up a skinny triangle-shaped building in the middle of the street. Imagine a developer doing such a thing today.
