Left 0.6 m. on this road to the small village of LIMEROCK (Lincoln Town), on the eastern edge of which is the Eleazer Whippie House (private) or Mowry Tavern. Although greatly altered, a portion of this structure dates back to 1684 or earlier. The newer, or eastern part, was built in 1825. The building appears now as a large two-and-one-half-story white frame farmhouse, in poor repair. It was once the tavern of Jeremiah Mowry; an inn license was granted to the hostelry in 1747.
