Creator
Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Title
The Tiger Inn, Fourth Street and Old York Road
Date
ca. 1922
Description
Depicts the inn and surrounding buildings at the intersection of Fourth Street and York Road, including the flag pole.
Notes
At the junction of a section of Old York road which remains and Fourth Street stood, until 1921, the picturesque remnant of the Tiger Inn. A century ago it was a station where the hurrying stages, en route to New York, took on uptown passengers. There is record that from the balcony of this little tavern, Lafayette addressed the people when last visiting America. The flag staff seen in this picture was originally raised in 1810 by James MItchell, a neary-by merchant. An effigy of the Indian, at its top, serves to keep alive the tradition that here the last council of the Indians was held prior to their removal from the town. This drawing was made in 1921.
