The John Dods House was started in the early 1700s, with the main section built in 1770.[3] The historic stone house was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1938.[4]
John Dods Tavern was built around 1770 by John Dods using local fieldstone. During the American Revolutionary War, Colonel Philip Van Cortlandt frequently visited the tavern. The construction of the nearby Morris Canal in the 1830s increased business at the tavern.[3]
