Occupying a space preordained by the American Institute of Architects in the early 1960s for a “tall slab” in the redesign/redevelopment of downtown Wilmington, Del., according to the Society of Architectural Historians, Wilmington Tower (background) arrived in quasi-Brutalist style from the drawing board of the world-renowned I.M. Pei starting in 1968. Now known locally as “the I.M. Pei Building,” this 22-story, 286-foot blade was commissioned in 1964 by and for the American Life Insurance Co. but quickly ran into budgetary and functional difficulties and wasn’t completed until 1971. It is the only Pei design in Delaware. (2019)

The Hotel Crittenden is haunted, according to two of its employees. The day bartender/front-of-house manager/waitress/desk clerk (it’s a modest operation), when prompted on the subject, spoke of the Lady in the Blue Dress. But where the hem of the dress ended, so did the lady. A kitchen worker, asked for confirmation, had not seen the legless lady, but he did say that “all kinds of shit” happens there. A tour of the establishment led to this passageway, and damned if there wasn’t some weird vibe in it. (2019)
