Inns on the National Road

Allegany County

• Clarysville Inn site: The Clarysville Inn stood along the old section of the National Road, U.S. Route 40, to the south of the present road at Clarysville. It was a -story brick structure with flush double chimneys at the gable ends, a symmetrical facade, and 6/6 sash windows. After 1936, the original porch with a balustrade was replaced by semi-circular Tuscan-columned porch which extended the length of the central three bays and also contained an upper-level balustrade. Supposedly built around 1807 by a wealthy mid-western landowner, the Inn was initially used as a tavern along the old turnpike. The inn was used as a hospital during the American Civil War and then used as a restaurant before it was destroyed by fire on March 10, 1999. Once owned by family and Cas Taylor the inn was sold between 1970's and 1995 to an unknown buyer.
