Tunison's Tavern C.1748 was located here, making this the site of the oldest continuing business in Somerville. Some of George Washington's troops stayed at Tunison's during the 1778-79 Winter encampment. The tavern and the hotel that replaced it served as a stage coach stop.



Designed by architect F.H. Dodge, the current building, built in 1907, is Spanish in style, with sloping tile roofs and portico.
