Judge's House and Law Office is a historic home and office located at Georgetown, Sussex County, Delaware. The original structure was built by Justice Peter Robinson about 1810, as a 2+1⁄2-story, single pile, Federal style dwelling with a one-story, two bay southwest wing and one-story, three bay rear wing. The southwest wing was later raised in the 1820s to 2+1⁄2 stories and rear wing raised to 2-stories. In the 1840s, the interior was renovated in the Greek Revival style and the house shingled in cypress. The office was built in 1809, and is a one-story, cypress-shingled frame building, three bays wide, with a gable roof and rear wing.[2]
The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
