Banfill Tavern, Greek Revival building in Fridley, Minnesota.

The Banfill Tavern displays Greek Revival features with six-over-six pane double-hung windows, sidelights, a transom, and brick chimneys along an L-shaped floor plan.

John Banfill constructed this establishment in 1847 near Minnesota's first Territorial Road, serving as an inn and base for logging operations in the region.

The structure maintained its original layout with a large communal room on the first floor and seven interconnected chambers on the second level.

The building stands within Manomin County Park as a partner location of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, accessible to visitors exploring local architecture.

Between 1912 and 1967, the property functioned as both a summer residence and a Jersey cattle farm under the ownership of the Locke family.
