| Room History: |
|
John Troxell was the first owner of
this property in 1787 and by 1803 developed "a large
and commodious new brick house". The building was two
stories high and had excellent well partitioned cellars. There
were eleven commodious rooms and kitchen and was planned on
being used as a public house. In May of 1804 Mr. Troxell rented
his property to Mr. George Welsh and on May 23, 1804 the following
notice appeared in the "Sentinel",
"George Walsh wishes to inform his friends and
the public in general, that he has lately opened a public
house of entertainment, in that large commodious new brick
building a few doors west of the court house, Gettysburg,
at the Sign of the Buck, where he is provided with good
liquors and every thing necessary to give suitable accommodations
to all who may favor him with their custom; and hopes his
excursion to please will merit their continuance and support."
