====== Jonathan Carlton House (BE 40) ====== Johnathan Carlton House The Jonathan Carlton House also known as Schramm's Tavern, is one of [[Petersburg]]’s oldest standing buildings. Built around [[1825]], it is one of the most distinguished Federal buildings in the county. It was occupied by Jonathan Carlton prior to [[1836]] and was later owned by Robert Mosley, a prosperous farmer and slaveholder. In [[1860]] it was purchased by John Schramm, who converted it to a tavern. The house is an elegant frame dwelling on the I-house plan. The finely detailed main entrance features an elliptical fanlight, flanking sidelights and reeded details. The walls are sheathed in uneven, pit-sawn weatherboards with beaded corner boards. Exposed chimney breasts are visible in the gable ends. A double gallery shelters the facade. The house was added to the [[National Register]] in 1982. ===== More Information ===== ==== Related websites ==== * National Register Information (PDFs), [[https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail?assetID=2a1e2543-82e3-4946-9264-7796dffd1a74|inventory form and photos]] ===== Related Topics ===== * [[Historic Homes]] * [[Taverns]] * [[Petersburg]]
