The Falmouth House is an example of a traditional New England Federal-style tavern. The dwelling is two stories high with a central door, gabled roof, and clapboard exterior. The Falmouth House was moved a few hundred yards to the west when the Grey Road replaced the Old County Road in 1826. The Old County Road alignment is now a walking trail accessed off Hadlock Road near Autumn Way. In the early 1800s this area, set away from the coast and north of Portland, was sparsely settled and travelers had difficulty finding lodging, meals, and accommodations for their horses. The original owner, Samuel Hicks, built the tavern's reputation as a quality inn with good food, service, and adequate sleeping arrangements. In 1836 Hicks sold the property to Otis Washburn, and the name of the business was subsequently changed to the Washburn Tavern.
