The Brick Hotel and the Counting House announced they will close in August 2021
Recently, the owners of the Brick Hotel in Georgetown announced that they would be closing the doors in August as the State of Delaware had entered into a lease agreement with them for the building. This also meant that the owner of the Counting House, the restaurant owned by Bill Clifton, that was housed in the same building would also need to close.
“This has been a very difficult year for the hospitality industry,” Clifton said. “Although there were some small business grants and other funding options for restaurants, hotels, especially smaller ones like the Brick were not offered that assistance. The state came to them and made an offer they literally could not refuse. I can’t really blame them at all.”
