The Hotel Du Pont in Delaware's capital, built during the USA’s “Gilded Age” to rival the finest hotels in Europe, opened in 1913. Rich woodwork, mosaic and terrazzo floors, gilded hallways and other adornments were created by artisans from France and Italy who toiled for 2½ years to make the building a monument to outstanding craftsmanship. The results of their efforts serve as reminders of a decades-long period of economic development in the United States that began in the 1870s.
