A block house is like a big Lego house that people made a very long time ago. It was a really strong kind of house that was made to protect people from bad guys who might want to hurt them. The blocks were made out of a material called stone and they were stacked on top of each other with a special kind of cement that helped them stick together. The block house in Delaware is a really old one that is still standing and people can go visit it today. It's like taking a trip back in time to see how people lived and stayed safe a really long time ago!
