Field Notes

Fuller Tavern, 1055 Worthington Ridge, c1769. Visited by George Washington and documented in his diary entry of November 10,1789. The tavern was the site of Masonic lodge meetings during 19th century. A mural with Masonic emblems was uncovered during early 20th century restoration work. The center chimney provided an enormous thermal mass that stored and released heat for hours. There was a large barroom downstairs with original leaded glass windows and a ballroom upstairs.
