• 203) Historic building expert visits Tavern

  203)  Historic building expert visits Tavern - June 27, 2002                  Historic building expert John Curtis spends a good part of the day inspecting the Tavern building, addressing a number of issues.  John provides guidance on a section of the front sitting room where apparent evidence of a small liquor locker has been found.  He recommends that the section be restored as the liquor storage and dispensing area.  Also, while many of the walls are still exposed, John provides insight into the mysterious stair access to the second floor, which was unusual for this type of building. Historic building expert John Curtis and Walt Landgraf inspect what apparently was the Squires Tavern liquor locker.  Posted Jun 27 2002, 04:25 PM by Paul with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Squires, Expert
