Hall's Tavern, 1800 - Falmouth, Cumberland County

Hall's Tavern is one of the oldest buildings in Falmouth. Constructed by Nicholas Hall, the house was first used as a private residence until its conversion into a tavern by Nicholas' son Onzi Hall some twenty-five years later. While the building's exterior clearly exhibits a fine Federal-style design, much of Hall Tavern's unique historic value lies in its interior: a historic taproom and bedrooms with finely-stenciled wall designs remain largely unchanged from the earliest years of its use as a tavern. The house was moved about 500 feet forward to its present site in 1826, when Gray Road was realigned. It then retained its use as a tavern until the 1890s, when it returned to its original use as a private residence.

Year Listed: 1978
