Barns-Brinton House, Colonial tavern and residence in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, US.
The Barns-Brinton House features Flemish bond brick construction with foundation walls containing special recesses designed as cold storage rooms for food preservation.
William Barns constructed this house in 1714, operating it as a tavern until 1731, before James Brinton acquired the property in 1753 during Revolutionary War times.
The property represents early American architectural methods and colonial tavern operations, displaying original hardware forged by William Barns, its blacksmith owner.
Located at 630 Baltimore Pike, the house opens for guided tours through the Chadds Ford Historical Society, which maintains the structure as a museum.
The building's front became its rear when U.S. Route 1 changed location, altering the original orientation of this 1.5-acre historical property.
