Old Drawyers Church, a historic Presbyterian house of worship near Odessa in New Castle County, Delaware, dates to 1769–1773 and exemplifies Georgian architectural style. Originally established by Dutch and Swedish settlers, the congregation had become predominantly Scottish by the time construction was completed. The two-story, five-bay brick structure is distinguished by an elaborate Georgian doorway and gable roof, while its interior preserves a particularly ornate soundingboard suspended above the open pulpit. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
