In 1759, a quaint tavern was built at the junction of the Philadelphia-Easton Post Road and the Durham Road by Joseph Bladen.
Later, in 1778, that tavern was purchased by George Piper, a distinguished colonel in the Continental Army, who was born in Philadelphia County, along the banks of the Wissahickon River. “Colonel Piper’s Tavern” was a large colonial structure, with 15” thick walls. With additions to the prosperous tavern in 1784, 1790 and 1801, the tavern included a parlor and dining room, a large kitchen and guest rooms for weary travelers.
A distinctive feature at that time was a two story “piazza” with a long ornamental railing, upon which was fixed a sign that read “Piper’s Tavern”.
