Norwood House is a historic home located near Lewes, Sussex County, Delaware. It was built about 1850, and is two-story, three-bay, single-pile, frame house. It has a rectangular plan and sits on a brick foundation. The house is sheathed in weatherboard with cornerboards and has a shingled gable roof. A single story section extends down the entire length of the rear of the house and there is an earlier one-story section located on the north rear. Also on the property is a contributing privy. It is a virtually unaltered survivor of Belltown, a 19th-century "free colored" community.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
