This building was once Washingtonian Hall, built on the town landing by the Washingtonian Temperance Society in 1841. The Washingtonians faded in the 1850s as other prohibitionist groups gained popularity, and the building became a cultural center (Riverside Hall) and later David Allen’s ice cream shop. It was moved to its present location by an owner who, ironically, converted it to a tavern known as “The Landing.” It is now a private home.
