Lower Louviers and Chicken Alley, also known as Louviers and Duck Street, is a historic home located near Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built in 1811, and is a two- to three-story, five bay, stuccoed stone dwelling. The three center bays project slightly from the main body of the house. In 1935, a kitchen wing was added to the other end of the house plus a gated wall and garage. The house was owned by the Du Pont family. Also on the property is "Chicken Alley," an excellent example of the 19th century workers' row house.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
