Edward R. Wilson House, also known as the W. H. Schultz House, is a historic home located at Newark, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1860, and is a three-story, gable-roofed frame dwelling with a porch running across its facade, north endwall, and rear elevation. It has a two-story brick wing built about 1900, and a later frame wing extending from the rear of the brick addition. It is in the Greek Revival / Italianate style. Since 1907, the house is part of the University of Delaware Farm, an agricultural experiment station managed by its College of Agriculture. The house was used as a dormitory during the 1980s [2] and has since been repurposed to serve as offices for the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Delaware [3].

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
