It still looks like that today! It is the Stage House Inn. The old road went from New York to Philadelphia through what is now Union County and on to Hunterdon County, specifically White House where another old inn built about 250 years ago is now Kearns Funeral Home next to the Ryland Inn just off Route 22. That inn was also built by a Sutton and was considered the half-way point for weary travellers going between Philadelphia and New York by stage coach.
