Sudler House is a historic home located in Bridgeville, Sussex County, Delaware. Constructed originally around 1750, the house features a two-story, six-bay frame structure sheathed in cypress shingles and exhibits elements of vernacular architecture. The initial three-bay section of the house was expanded during the Federal period, resulting in the current six-bay facade.

Inside, the Sudler House boasts a number of distinctive architectural details, including a beautifully designed staircase featuring square balusters, with an unusual double carved bracket trim and a paneled base.[2]

The Sudler family held ownership of the property from 1833 until 1971, demonstrating its long-standing significance in the region's history.[3] The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974.[1]
