On Aug. 28, the historic Brick Hotel and The Counting House Restaurant and Pub on The Circle in Georgetown will be closing.
Ed and Lynn Lester of Georgetown, owners of the inn and restaurant, have leased the building to the state of Delaware for new Department of Justice offices.
After renovations, the department is expected to move into the building on Oct. 1.
“For the past 13 years, the Brick has been my heart and soul,” said Lynn Lester. “And I’ve loved my life as an innkeeper, restauranteur, wedding officiant, event coordinator and more.”
Like many other lodging and restaurant businesses, restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic have been devastating to the business, she said. “It’s going to take a very long, long time to recover. The state of Delaware approached us about leasing the property, and timing is everything. It’s been a bittersweet decision for us,” Lynn Lester said.
Why didn’t they open a Mexican place? I know that Phillips tried it in OC but Georgetown has MORE Hispanic customers to draw. I guess they just didn’t know how.
thats exactly the reason for the doj to have an office in bidens delaware, illegals!
