History




The tavern in 2009


Francis Brinley constructed the original building on the site in 1652.[2] In 1673, he sold the lot to William Mayes who enlarged the building to become a tavern.[2] The building was also used for large meetings, including use as a Rhode Island General Assembly meeting place, a court house, and a city hall.[2] William Mayes obtained a tavern license in 1687, and his son William Mayes, Jr. operated it through the early eighteenth century.[2] The operation was named "The White Horse Tavern" in 1730 by owner Jonathan Nichols.[2]


Tories and British troops were quartered there during the British occupation of Newport in the American Revolution, around the time of the Battle of Rhode Island.[2] Newport's Van Bueren family donated money to the private Preservation Society of Newport to restore the building in 1952, after years of neglect as a boarding house.[2] After the restoration, the building was sold and once again operated as a private tavern and restaurant,[2] and it remains a popular drinking and dining location today.[3]

Critics, including the Farm Bureau, strongly opposed the FSA as an experiment in collectivizing agriculture—that is, in bringing
