Summary

Significance: The Shannon Hotel, an integral part of the Christiana Historic District, is strategically situated at the village's main intersection, now formed by Delaware Routes 7 and 273.

The structure, which was occupied by William Shannon, an innkeeper, in the late eighteenth century, was used as a tavern for many years.
