Mordington, also known as the Douqlass House, is a historic home located near Frederica, Kent County, Delaware. It dates to about 1785, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, three-bay, double-pile plan, brick dwelling in the Georgian-style. It has a lower frame and brick wing to the east that was replaced in the late 1960s. The original two main doorways and most of the original interior woodwork were removed to the Winterthur Museum and Country Estate.[2]
