The Tavern House. . This building has led a varied and colorful life. Notice the seam to the right of the frond door running the height of the building. To the right of that seam are the remains of a structure built in the 1700's to house the Tavern. The section to the left of the seam was added around 1810. In 1870 the section to the right of the seam was heavily remodeled to present the current symmetrical faηade. Used as a tavern, rooming house, bed and breakfast, and apartments, the building has been restored and now houses offices for the Dauphin County Parks and Recreation Department.
