Dr. John A. Brown House, also known as the "Anchorage", is a historic home located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in three phases. The core is a 2 1/2-story, three-bay, side-hall plan, quarried granite dwelling with late Federal detailing. It dates to the 1820s. Attached to the core is a brick kitchen wing. Two square multiple-story brick Italian Villa towers were added to the north gable end later in the 19th century. Also added at this time were the stucco exterior and a columned porch.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
