Walker House (site)
Formerly/Also Known As Central House, United States House, Byers's Tavern, Bunting's Tavern
Broadway (Beeseon Boulevard) and Main Street
Uniontown, PA 15401From Searight's The Old Pike (1894):
The Walker house, corner of Broadway and Main streets, was kept as a tavern as early as 1816 by Zadoc Walker, who owned the property. General LaFayette was entertained at this house in 1825, and Santa Anna, the renowned Mexican warrior, stopped over night in it on his way to Washington City, about sixty years ago. This house has been kept at different times since by Andrew Byers, William Byers, Redding Bunting, and others. When Bunting kept it, it was called the 'United States.' It has recently been enlarged and improved, and its name changed to the 'Central.' Its first host under the new name was James I. Feather, who subsequently became associated with William A. McHugh. Its present lessees and managers are Messrs. Frock and Mitchell.
