Caleb Baldwin Tavern, Colonial tavern in Newtown, Connecticut, US
The Caleb Baldwin Tavern stands as a two-and-a-half-story wooden structure with symmetrical windows, Victorian-era porch details, and two brick chimneys on Main Street.
Built around 1763, this tavern accommodated French officers from General Rochambeau's army during their march to the Siege of Yorktown in June 1781.
The interior layout of the tavern, with its central hall plan and two-chimney design, represents architectural preferences of 18th-century New England societies.
The building, located at 32 Main Street in Newtown's village center, received National Register of Historic Places recognition on August 23, 2002.
Claude Blanchard, Rochambeau's commissary, specifically selected this tavern to arrange housing and supplies for French troops crossing Connecticut.
