Mrs. Dawson’s Tavern

The building was designed by William Coverdale and constructed in 1856 for Frances Dawson as a tavern. Coverdale is a well-known and prolific local architect who designed many landmark buildings in Kingston. Mrs. Dawson’s Tavern is an example of his work on a modest building in a style not typically associated with Coverdale. Heritage attributes include the limestone building, original openings, and hipped roof.
