Located in Wilmington, Delaware, the Max Keil Building is a three-story commercial structure that began as a mid-nineteenth-century brick construction before undergoing a dramatic modernization in 1938. The renovation recast its facade in the Art Moderne and Art Deco style, introducing a curved glass display window at street level and replacing the upper floors with peach-colored terra-cotta cladding punctuated by a large structural glass block window. Built on a rectangular footprint using load-bearing brick, the building exemplifies the commercial streetscape revitalization of the 1930s. It was recognized as a historic landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
