Black and white photograph of the Plough/Plow Tavern, located at the corner of West King and Charlotte Sts. Framed in original, simply molded brown wood frame, photo (4.75" x7.75 ") mounted on gray mounting board. Tavern is seen at left side of the photo, showing a stone 2-story building. The facade indicated a center door flanked by two windows and two dormers on the roof.
Building was demolished on April1, 1924. This photo appears to show gutted windows, likely indicating that the building was in the process of demolition, suggesting a 1924 date.
Two stickers on the back read: "George Washington Dined at the Plough during his visit to Lancaster in 1791" and "The Marquis de Lafayette was entertained at a dinner in his honor at the Plough during his visit to the U.S. in 1824." (Wendell Zercher)
