It bear the name of its builder and first owner, Henry Wetherburn ,who previously operated the Raleigh Tavern across the street. A distinguished clientele was attracted by the great food, drink, and festive social life. An inventory of Wetherburn's fine furnishing guided their replacement. The tavern has been restored to its appearance of about 1760."
