In 1797 James Workman kept a tavern, the site of which is not known. He continued until 1813, when he went to farming. After three years' experience in farming he returned to town, and opened a tavern under the sign of "Gen. Andrew Jackson." This old tavern stood on the west side of Main street, below the "Globe Inn." It was subsequently kept by Maj. James Dunlap of the old Mt. Vernon House, east of Pancake. From 1798 to 1806 Dr. John J. Lemoyne kept a tavern on the south side of Main street, where an old road came down over Gallows Hill. This house was afterward kept by Jacob Good, and continued for a number of years by his widow. The "Globe Inn" was one of the most famous old taverns in Washington. It was located on the west side of Main street, at the corner of Strawberry alley. This house was opened as a tavern in 1797, and in the next year passed to the hands of David Morris, and was kept by him, continuously, until his death in 1834. General LaFayette was entertained at this house in 1825, and it was a favorite stopping place of Henry Clay, and many other statesmen and heroes of the olden time. This old tavern was a frame building, and remained standing until 1891. Rev. William P. Alrich, an old and popular professor of mathematics in Washington college, married a daughter of David Morris. One Fox kept a tavern, at an early period, in a house that stood on the east side of Main street, where the Morgan Block now stands. The "Cross Keys" was a popular tavern of the olden time. It stood on the southeast corner of Main and Wheeling streets, opposite the Valentine House. It was opened in 1801 by James McCamant, who kept it until his death, which occurred in 1813. Tradition has it that he died from the effects of a bite by a mad wolf. His widow continued it for about two years, when she quit it to take charge of the "General Washington House," nearly opposite the court house. She returned, however, after a time to the "Cross Keys," and was keeping that house as late as 1831. In the year last named she caused to be inserted in a town paper a notice that she furnished dinner and horse feed for twenty-five cents, and boarding and lodging for jurors and others attending court for two dollars a week. The "Cross Keys" was kept afterward at different dates by James Sargeant, Charles Rettig, John Bradfield, William Blakely and Otho Hartzell. It closed as a tavern previous to 1844. James McCamant, the first proprietor of the "Cross Keys" tavern, was the father-in-law of Joseph Henderson, esq., a prominent and popular old lawyer of Washington. Christian Keiffer kept a tavern in 1805 at the sign of "Washington." Keiffer's career as a tavern keeper must have been a brief and an uninteresting one, since old inhabitants are unable to locate his house, although it bore a name that should and does survive, in every other form except in its application to Keiffer's old tavern.
