Hersey-Duncan House is a historic home located near Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1800, and is a two-story, five-bay, center passage plan dwelling with a gable roof and two-story, stone, rear kitchen wing. It is in a vernacular Federal style. A stuccoed frame, one-story, gable-roof kitchen was added to the north endwall of the main block about 1950 and a two-story frame wing was added to the south side of the rear kitchen wing in the 1930s. Also on the property is a contributing 19th century, stone smokehouse. The house was built by a prominent Red Clay Creek miller in the early 19th century.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
