Independence City Tavern National Historical Park, Pennsylvania: City Tavern
City Tavern flourished from 1774 until 1800 as one of the most important public houses in Philadelphia. It functioned as a social, political, even business center for this busy city. Although it had been destroyed, the National Park Service at Independence National Historical Park has reconstructed the Tavern and intends to use it as a restaurant for visitors as much in an eighteenth century style as possible. Using traveler's accounts, insurance records, advertisements, inventories, and British cartoons, the study discusses the Tavern's probable historic furnishings, food, decorative treatment, and general use. It is largely a comparative study, but offers a wide range of pertinent information on which to base its recommendations. Photographs, drawings, inventories, and an excellent bibliography accompany the study.
