Site Description
Public House, ca. 1818
This building was opened as the Public House for travelers and a few boarders in the best manner and on the most reasonable terms about 1818 at its then location, around the corner on Madison Street.
How convenient it might have been for the overworked legislators, working on the Constitution, to retire for food, drink and a room to share, sometimes three to a bed. The building was moved in 1926 and has been here ever since.
Recently restored with a luxury condo upstairs.
