That was then (1953).
From chapter 26:
Immdiately upon the opening of the National Road, taverns spring up along it. These provided rfreshmnt and lodging for man and beast
[snip]
Most of the taverns were of wood, a fact that may be inferred from the distinguishing name of the one still standing in Lafayette, Ohio. Built in 1837, well within the period of the Classical Revival, the Red Brick Tavern shows the Gergian traditions still strong in American architecture.
This is now.

Shuttered for four years, the historic Red Brick Tavern in Lafayette officially reopened on Valentine’s Day to a packed house. The new owners said they are already feeling the love.
“We had no idea the following this building had,” said Kyle Massey, who owns and operates the business with his brother, Travis.
