Chelsea is a historic home located in Delaware City, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1848 by Thomas Clark, and is a three-story, three-bay-square brick block with a low, almost flat, hipped roof surmounted by a widow's walk. It is in a regional variation of the Italianate / Greek Revival style. It has a low, one-story wing at the east side, a wide, one-story glass-enclosed front porch and a large, two-story addition to the rear of the house.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
