The Willard
"Where Friends Meet"
History
The original brick house, which is the core of the present structure
known as "The Willard", was built in 1860 by William and Cynthia King
McCaslin. Mrs. McCaslin was the daughter of George King, who had
received the original 160 acres in a land grant on October 17, 1822.
Mrs. McCaslin died in 1878 and William married Marguerite Mullen.

After William's death in 1883, Marguerite and her niece, Marguerite
McCullough, resided in the home until 1922 when it was sold to Eliza
Patterson Willard and her niece and nephew, Mr. & Mrs. Will Judah.
Mrs. Willard and the Judahs paid $11,000 for the original building
and spent a great deal more constructing the hotel around the brick
house and remodeling the interior. From that time on it was known
as The Willard Hotel. Ironically, both Mrs. Willard and Mrs. Judah
were active in the Prohibition Movement.
After sitting idle for several years, The Willard was purchased and
refurbished by John Limp and John Wright of Franklin, as a pub and
eatery, specializing in pizza, hot wings and the friendly environment
so many people enjoy today. The main theme in the restoration of
The Willard was restoring the building without detracting from the
antique fixtures and the historical charm. The curved staircase in
the foyer and the marble fireplace mantle in the main dining area are
part of the original McCaslin home.
In 1990, The Willard was sold to Bob Schofield and the late Don
Henry. Bob and his wife Alexa have maintained the historic landmark
establishment ever since. In 2015, Bob and Alexa sold The Willard to
their son, Tony Priola, and his wife Emily, who are proudly committed
to preserving the good food, good drinks and the place "where friends
meet."
