Tavern

Charlie Miller House (closed)

Formerly/Also Known As Chambers's Tavern, Bennington's Tavern, Demon's Tavern, Guttery's Tavern

NW Corner of Main and Maiden Streets
Beallsville, PA 15313

From Searight's The Old Pike (1894):

Charley Miller kept a tavern as early as 1830, and probably before that date, in the brick house on the corner opposite Greenfield's, and this house was subsequently, and for many years kept by Mrs. Chambers. It was a quiet, orderly, and aristocratic old tavern, especially when under the management of Mrs. Chambers, and enjoyed a good reputation as an eating house. Benjamin Demon took charge of this house after the retirement of Mrs. Chambers, and kept it for a while. Moses Bennington succeeded Demon, and Charles Guttery succeeded Bennington. Guttery was the last of the old line of tavern keepers, at this house. Beallsville was a station for the line wagons, and John Cook, an old wagoner whose home was there, drove a line team for many years.
