The marker was apparently removed when the original Inn building was demolished by the Hospital.

Google Maps (2012)show the current appearance.

Google street view (2007) shows the original building still in place.

Marker Text -

"This historic inn, the oldest in Michigan still providing food and lodging, was built as a home in 1836 by Orin Weston. In 1841 it was converted into a tavern by Stephen Jennings. Known as the Sixteen Mile House, it was the stagecoach stop here in Clarenceville on the Grand River plank road that followed an Indian trail that went on to Lake Michigan."

This building was added to the National Registry of Historical Places in 1979

Located on Grand River Avenue, northwest of Eight Mile Road in farmington Hills, MI

Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not possible or preferable. Also include a bit about your visit to the marker.

NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.

If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
