Documentary Survey, Clover Hill Tavern and Outbuildings
Happel R. 1956. Documentary Survey, Clover Hill Tavern and Outbuildings. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Appomattox Court House National Historical Park
This report presents a documentary survey of the history and structure of the Clover Hill Tavern. At the time of the report (1956), the main house was used for museum and office space. Upon the planned reconstruction of the Court House building and the relocation of the museum and headquarters to that space, the Tavern group was planned to be displayed as it appeared in 1865. In addition to the brick, two-story house with a chimney at each end, associated outbuildings include the Tavern Kitchen, Tavern Guest House, and rebuilt Slave Quarters. The document identifies the ownership history of the property, the chronology of structures, the business activites and success of Alexander Patteson, and the appearance of structures during the historic period of 1865. Patteson operated the tavern at Clover Hill, as well as a stage line between Richmond and Lynchburg.
