John Calvert was granted the land that the tavern stands on in 1682 byWilliam Penn. Daniel Calvert, who was likely John's grandson, built a frame building along the Providence Great Road (nowPennsylvania Route 252) and was licensed to run a tavern there in 1739.
The current building is a large two-and-one-half-story,fieldstone building. It was erected in 1809 on the site of the earlier frame structure. A stone addition was built in 1836.[2]
The tavern was moved roughly one hundred yards from its original site when PA-252 was widened.[3] During 2011 the building was renovated and now houses the Brandywine Conference & Visitors Bureau.[4]
