Here are some comments from Paul Mowrey to update us and more to come.-

Hello All,  The Pidge Tavern was located at the corner of Pidge Street and Pawtucket AVenue.  A stop on the way from Proviidence to Boston.  The building was built around mid 1700s, I believe George Washington stopped there.  The complete history is on the PSP Calendar for 198-.  The bottom line is that the building was around into the late 1930s, it was sketched in 1933 and then razed for the builidng now on the site, a tire company.  Calendar text says that the interior was saved.  I will get the calendar and give a more complete description over the weekend.  Paul.
