Notes
Sign-boards of the Three Crowns Tavern and Waterloo Tavern
Benjamin West painted many tavern signs in the vicinity of Philadelphia, among them in 1771 that of the Three Crowns, a noted hostelry that stood on the King’s Highway in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County. This neighborhood was partly settled by English emigrants, and the old tavern was kept by a Tory of the deepest dye. The sign-board still bears the marks of the hostile bullets of the Continental Army, and the proprietor came near sharing the bullets with the sign. This Three Crowns sign was removed in 1816 to the Waterloo Tavern, kept by a relative of the old landlord. The Waterloo Tavern was originally the Bull’s Head, and was kept by a Revolutionary officer. Both sides of the Three Crowns sign-board are shown here. [By tradition West also painted the sign-board of the old Hat Tavern [located about two miles east of Cross Keys (Intercourse)]. This was kept by Widow Caldwell in Leacock Township, Lancaster County, on the old Philadelphia road.] --from “Stage-coach and Tavern Days”, written by Alice Morse Earle © 1900. (Newsletter of the Historical Society of Salisbury Township, Spring 2017)
