Weston, also known as the S. Brady Farm, is a historic home and farm located at Middletown, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1850, and consists of the original two-story brick farmhouse adjoining a later and larger brick three-story addition whose design displays influences of both Greek Revival and Italianate styles. It features large pairs of sawnwork brackets supporting the overhanging boxed cornice. Also on the property are a contributing icehouse, smokehouse, barn, granary, and tenant house.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
