Old Stone Tavern, also known as The Nowell House, The Bell House, and The Old Stone House, is a historic home located at Little Creek, Kent County, Delaware. The main section was built about 1829, and is a two-story, five-bay, stone Georgian-style structure. It has a gable roof with brick cornice and dormers. A 1+1⁄2-story brick kitchen wing is attached. It was thought to have been a tavern by the local community, but records have shown that it was always a dwelling house.[2]
