The building, located at Scott's Corner at the intersection of Delaware Rt. 404 and Delaware Rt. 36, was built in 1875.{{Cite web |date=2025-04-21 |title=Remembering Scorchy Tawes: Scott's Store in Bridgeville |url=https://www.wboc.com/remembering-scorchy-tawes-scotts-store-in-bridgeville/video_a7c4f85c-7947-5105-b783-badf493b856c.html |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=WBOC TV |language=en}} The original proprietor, C.M. Scott, opened the store seven days per week at 4 a.m.
The building is a two-story, rectangular, frame structure in a simplified Victorian Gothic style. It sits on a brick foundation, is sheathed in weatherboard, and a gable roof. The storefront has a pair of double doors and there is the large one-story, hipped porch roof extending across the face of the building. Also on the property are a contributing garage and outhouse, and a submerged round metal tank used to mix carbide gas. It is typical of 19th-century country stores of southern Delaware.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=83001412}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Scott's Store |author=Richard B.
