The Wainwright Inn

South Main Street, Great Barrington, MA

Originally built in 1766 by Captain Peter Ingersoll, an officer during the American Revolution, the Wainright Inn, or Troy Tavern as it was known then, was undoubtedly used by colonists to plan their participation in the siege of British troops in Boston. The house was later known as Wainwright Hall and became the home of Franklin Pope, a well known inventor, engineer, and patent attorney who is credited with co-inventing the ticker tape machine with Thomas Edison.
