The Zurbrugg Mansion, which has also been known as The Columns, at 531 Delaware Avenue in Delanco Township, Burlington County, New Jersey, United States, was built in 1910. It was designed by architects Furness, Evans & Co. in Classical Revival style. Vacant for several years after being used as a nursing home, it was acquired by Grapevine Development and subsequently listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The listing included two contributing buildings, a contributing structure, and a contributing object on 2.5 acres (1.0 ha).[1]

In 2010 the main building was renovated and re-opened as a 27-unit Independent Senior Residence.[2]

The vacant Carriage House was also renovated into a single family residence and sold to a private owner.[3] The surrounding property has been subdivided and developed into RiverWalk on the Delaware, a luxury townhouse community.[4]

It was a home of Swiss-born Theophilus Zurbrugg.[5]
