Abstract

Part I of this report explores the functions of typical inns and taverns. It established the bases for setting up a typical inventory of furniture, cookware, eating utensils, and all the other likely necessary and not-so-necessary items which would be found in a combined farm home and inn. Part II presents the results of field work on the form and layout of surviving structures in Illinois. It has several sections on the architectural content and the probable use of the space inside the inn. 109p.
