It was erected about 1814, and is a two-story, six bay by three bay, brick building with a gable roof. It has a hipped roof porch and a five bay, shed-roofed brick dependency. Its peak period of use was between about 1870 and 1920. The Hotel derives its name from one of the most colorful of Delaware's early inhabitants, Augustine Herrmann.[2]
