This building, which currently houses several businesses, was home to John Parker's Tavern during the Revolutionary War. Several Continental army officers, including "Mad" Anthony Wayne frequented the tavern. [1]
In front of the building is a Washington Route Marker
The marker reads:
"By this route Washington with his army retired to Morristown after his victory at Princeton January 1777."
This is one of a series of markers that can be found tracing Washington's route to Morristown after the victory at Princeton. Other markers can be found in Basking Ridge, Bedminster, Harding Township and Somerville.
