Charles B. Lore Elementary School is a 1932 brick school building in Wilmington, Delaware, designed in the Collegiate Gothic style. The 2½-story, E-shaped structure features red brick walls, a prominent four-story central tower, steep pitched slate gable roofs, stone window and door surrounds, and battlemented entryways. Named for Charles B. Lore (1831–1911), the school operated as part of the Red Clay School District until its closure in 1981 due to declining enrollment. It was later repurposed as an assisted living facility and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
