Delaware Flats is a historic apartment building located at Indianapolis, Indiana. It was built in 1887, and is a three-story, ten bay wide, Classical Revival style painted brick and limestone building. The first floor has commercial storefronts with cast iron framing. The upper stories feature two-story blank arches with Corinthian order pilasters.: Part 1, p. 29–30 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is located in the Washington Street-Monument Circle Historic District.

It remains unclear who was the first owner of the building. There is a local tale that the ghost of a medical assistant killed in the building in 1911 haunts the building. Lynn B. Millikan bought the building that same year and turned it into the Hotel Barton. It was turned into a nursing home in 1966, and the Salvation Army eventually became the owner.
