Old Ford Dairy is a historic home located near Odessa, New Castle County, Delaware. It was built about 1850, and was a 2+12-story, five-bay by two-bay frame, double cross-gable, vernacular Victorian farmhouse. It had a rear wing, three-bay front porch, and two brick gable end chimneys. Also on the property were a drive through, 2+12-story granary, a rectangular grain storage bin, and a three-story gambrel-roofed dairy barn.[2]

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