George Rohr's Saloon and Boarding House
In the mid-nineteenth century Ossining was bustling industrial, commercial and transportation center; and this large, French Second Empire style building placed in the busiest intersection was a key architectural feature. Built in the early 1860s the building originally served as a saloon and boarding house. In the 1880s the upper floors housed the first free dispensary, a forerunner of the community's hospital.
