This information is copyrighted on the Inn's website. However its history, I have to believe that it can be rewritten, and sourced. this would triple the size of the article.

Claims to notability

edit

The article needs reliable sources to back up its claims to be the oldest inn, and possibly the oldest business. It's also not clear exactly what is being claimed. For example, the business has not been the "King George II Inn" for its entire history. I presume that the claim is that the building has been an inn, operated as such, for longer than any other inn in the US. If so, the article should be clear that that is what is claimed. "Oldest business" has similar problems, since it's not clear that it has been a single business over its entire history.

The restaurant closed recently. This may impact the building's "oldest continuously-operating" status.

Besides the above, the article desperately needs some history on the inn. Right now, it's basically just a marketing blurb for the business, paraphrased from their own advertising materials.--Srleffler (talk) 01:01, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

The restaurant closed on May 25, 2010.

The whole thing was put up for sale the day after the restaurant closed: "Historic Inn for Sale". AP Online. NY Times. 2010-06-13. {{cite news}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |1= (help). There are a bunch of residents. No offers near enough to the reported asking price of fourteen hundred thousand dollars yet. 74.84.109.41 (talk) 02:20, 14 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
