William Talley House is a historic home located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1770, as a one-room deep, two-room wide fieldstone dwelling. The house has evolved to a 2+12-story, four-bay, rectangular dwelling with a steep gable roof.

It has two rectangular inside end brick chimneys covered with stucco that project through the gable peak.

The shed-roofed, sun porch addition was built in the 1940s and a saltbox form rear frame addition was built in the 1960s.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
