- Built:
- Community:
- Milton
- State:
- North Carolina
- Architectural note:
- The tavern was built in the Federal style with a Doric cornice, six-bay front, and three fanlit entrances. The structure has a central passage dividing two large rooms. After a 1989 fire, the tavern was fully restored.
- Historical note:
- Union Tavern is notable due to its association with Thomas Day, a free-born, African American carpenter from Virginia who produced furniture for the wealthy and elite throughout the region in the mid-nineteenth century. This building was Day's residence and workshop from 1848-1859. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and as a National Historical Landmark.
