Square Tavern, Colonial tavern in Newtown Township, Pennsylvania
The Square Tavern stands as a two-and-a-half-story brick building with a gable roof, measuring thirty-two feet wide and twenty-eight feet deep.
Built in 1742 by Francis Elliot, the tavern served as a crucial stop along the Conestoga-wagon route connecting Philadelphia to Lancaster.
The building holds significance as the childhood residence of Benjamin West, who later became a prominent painter of 18th-century American historical events.
The Delaware County Tourist Bureau operates within the tavern, which sits at the intersection of Newtown Street Road and Goshen Road.
The 1981 restoration project revealed an original open space between the dining room and kitchen used for passing dishes to guests.
