Ichabod and Sarah Bliss Tavern, 12 North Main Street 1796 (MHC# 16). Two stories in height, under a shallow hipped roof, the tavern is five bays wide and four bays deep and sits on granite foundations. Original chimneys have been removed. There is a two story, three bay ell on the north with a gabled roof. Clearly Federal in style are the widely spaced, larger scaled windows, with their 6/6 sash. The house was re-trimmed in the Greek Revival period including the center, recessed entry. Purely Federal is the entry on the west elevation a portico on slender Doric columns. Its door has a three-light transom.
