History
There was a tavern at this site, then owned by Jonathan Robeson, in 1752 or earlier. The nearby Van Syckel's Tavern dates to 1763. The current building was likely built  by Peter Mechling. He retired in 1844 and sold the tavern to his son William Mechling. In 1890, William deeded it to his son Hiram Mechling. Hiram's death in 1934 ended tavern operation. It is now a private home.

Description
The tavern is an example of Greek Revival architecture. The main part of the tavern is a two and one-half story frame building with a gable roof. It has a one and one-half story extension. The porch has four large square columns.
