Union Tavern, Federal period tavern in Milton, North Carolina
The two-and-a-half story brick building features three fanlighted entrances, rectangular sash windows, and stone sills across its six-bay front facade.
Constructed around 1818, the Union Tavern served as both a social establishment and the workshop of Thomas Day from 1848 to 1859.
The building represents the achievements of Thomas Day, a free African American craftsman who operated North Carolina's largest cabinetmaking workshop in the mid-1800s.
The tavern forms part of Milton Historic District, requiring visitors to contact local authorities for access and touring information.
Despite experiencing a significant fire in 1989, the structure maintains its original Federal architectural elements through careful restoration efforts.
