good old Madeira, church warden pipes and

museum and the headquurtera of the so

grimy hotel and drinking saloon of the
twentieth century Into the neat, comforta
ble Faunce'a tavern of the days before the
revolution, but hla task has been done
Well, people say that are keen on the
antiquities of Manhattan.
About all that Mr. Meaereau had to
g-ulde him In his broader work of restora
tion was an advertisement published In
lT7a, when Bam Fraunce was In hard luck
and wanted to sell his tavern. In thin ad
vertisement he described his place ns "The
Queen's Head tavern, whlih Is thrfe stories
high, with a tile and lead roof, has four
taa fireplaces, a most excellent kitchen.
built It nf (imall yeilew bricks brought from
Holland and Its tiles wore of Dutch make
too. It over! inked tho shipping, nnd with
Its ginnery anil gardens was no doubt a
mcst ple.mint residence.
litienne de I.nnciy's wn James got the
mansion next, nnd then his grandson,
Oliver, who by that time wn too aristo
cratic to live In what hal become a busi

turned Irto a general slor" under the firm
name of !" l.nncry, Rnblnsnn & Co.
On Jar.unry 15. 1712, the roomy rid man

The now owner was a West Indian, famil
lar'.y known as Muck fum, from his
swarthy face r.nd black Inlr. Sam was the
Iielmonlco of his time nnd noted fcr the
excellence of his pickles nnd preserves.
It was from the profits of those very
plcklen and preserves tliHt he was able to
buy the De Lancey house and set up ns 11
publican. 6am swung out an effigy of
Queen Chnrlntte and named hla Inn "The
juen' Head," announcing that dinners
would be served at half past 1 o'clock. Ho
provided a tap room and a long room for
social functions.
It wasn't long before Black Sam's tavern
leaped Into popularity and became tho
resort for the young bloods and old good
livers. L'p until the eve of the revolution
the Social club, a very exclusive organlra
tlon, gathered there and made the Long
room Its home until It died of too much
politics. Famous balls were given at Black
Sam's.
It was In April, 17(S. that twenty-four
Importers met nnd organlied the New York

fine drr cellar, with good and excellent
office a."
There were, of course, aeveral very yel
lowed and ancient pictures of the tavern
where the old sinners of New York usd to
foregather for refreshment, gossip and
politics, and various documents which de
scribed the comforts that Sam Fraunce af
forded hla guests. The Sons of the Revo
lution Searched long among old records,
books, letters and documents bearing on
the early history of New York before Mr.
Meaereau went to work. The result has
been very gratifying, they think.
Every bit of brick and lumber In the old
building waa preserved and replaced as
nearly aa possible in the restored tavern.
Bricks of the slxe and shape of those used
on the Broad street side were brought over
from Holland for the restoration.
From an old building In Baltimore, bricks
to match those on the Pearl street side of
the tavern were obtained. The doors,
frames and woodwork of the pattern used
altogether lro years ago have been put
back, the original floor beams preserved
and the Interior as well as the exterior
made to look aa nearly as possible aa It
looked at the time of the revolution.
Two bad fires did much to change the ap
pearance of the old tavern. There was one
In 1832, by which much of the building wns
destroyed, particularly on the Pearl street
aid. The restoration of the building at
that time altered Its exterior appearance
and a fiat roof took the place of the old
rnanaard.
Again, In 1864, there waa another fire,
and after' that the building was altered
'even mure materially. Two stories were
added and two of the queer old chimneys
torn out.
In more recent years many changes
Were made to make the tinclent hostelry
Into aomethlng like a modern Intel. Tho
first floor was dropped to the street level
and partitions were taken out or put In
here and there.
By great 0"d luck neither fire nor tho
band of man did much to change the fam
ous Long room where the Soelul club met.
where, the New York Chamber of Com
merce was organized and where Wash
ington bade his officers - farewell at the
close of the revolution. The architect
and workmen have triumphed over most
Of these difficulties, and Fraunce's -Tavern
when finished will be what It was In the
Old days.
Although perhaps the most famous and
Interesting historically, It wu by no means
the oldest of Manhattan's Inns. Tho very
first waa a aualnt Htone building neur the
present Pearl street and Coeut'es slloa.
Which waa called In later years the Studt
Huya. It was built In 1C.
Then Murtin Kr'.gier open Krlbr's
Tavern at Bowling O'een. which became
the faehionuble resort for townspeople
and visitor from abroad. Many Ultlo
taverns sprang up aoout that t!:uo which
Director-General Buyvisaut compelled to
take out licenses.
Their lawful charges read curlouxly In
these days: Lodging, 3 cud 4 pence a uUUt;
meals, pence and 1 slU'.lliig; brandy,
pence a gill; French wlnts. 13 v-oneo a
Quart; rum, t pence a rill; elder, 4 pence a

It isn't clear Just when Fraunce's tavern
waa started. It was, as It lool.s restored
today, originally a private rt-edence. built
about 1700 on land coi.vyed by Colonel F;e

another tavern In what la now City Hall

The most famous Incident in connection
with Fraunce' tavern wa on December
4, 1783. Ton days before, on November a,
the redcoats of King George, had trampod
sullenly down Broadway to their boats and
sailed away, and the exultant continentals
were marching Joyously into the city. That
nlcht there was a great function at the
tavern, a dinner civen there by Governjr
Clinton to tho cominar.der-ln-chlef and the
French ambassador, Luxerne.
More than a hundred generals, omcerj
and distinguished civilians sat down at the
tables In the Long room with Governor
Clinton and his guests of honor. After the
banquet there were thirteen toasts, the
first being "The l'nitel States of America;"
the thirteenth, "May Thla ly Bo a Lesson
to Princes." In the evfnins thi Quien's
Head was brilliantly illuminated. Bontlres
blared In every corner, and as their con
tribution to the general merrymaking Gen
eral Washington and the French ambassa
dor presided over a display of fireworks
at Bowling Green.
Ten days later, on December 4. there was
a quieter, sadder function at the old tavern,
when Oenernl Washington bade farowel!
