Alert:
The Fairfax Arms tavern was constructed in the 1750s and is the only surviving original building from the town of Old Colchester. The building was used as the town`s tavern until the early 1800s, when it became a residential dwelling. Improvements were made to the house over the years with much of the integrity of the original 18th century building preserved. In the 1980s, the current owners added a large addition to the North-East side of the building that included, among other things, a modern kitchen. The building is listed under both the National Register of Historic Places and the Fairfax Inventory of Historic sites.
