Built in 1796, this historic structure is a two-story, six-bay, Georgian-style stone building with brick chimneys. The main block measures fifty feet by thirty-seven feet, with a rear kitchen wing measuring twenty-nine feet by twenty feet. It remained in operation as an inn until 1854. During the twentieth century, a restaurant opened in the building.[2]
While all of the Exton census-designated place is in West Whiteland Township, there are areas with Exton postal addresses that are not in the CDP and are not in the township.
