History and description

In 1812, Captain John Lambert (1777–1828), nephew of politician John Lambert (1746–1823), built the original three and one-half story fieldstone building for use as a tavern and inn. It featured vernacular Federal architecture. In 1814, his uncle, then a U. S. Senator, had a post office established in the building, had him appointed postmaster, and named the community Lambert's Ville. During the third quarter of the 19th century, it was expanded by the addition of a four-story masonry wing featuring Victorian Italianate architecture. [3] [5]
