The Landlord Fowler Tavern is a historic tavern at 171 Main Street in Westfield, Massachusetts. The three story Georgian building is estimated to have been built in the early 1760s, after Daniel Fowler was granted a license to operate a tavern in Westfield center. It was for many years a center of business and civic affairs in the town as well as a rest stop for travelers on the post road, on which it was located. The original Georgian decorations of its front door, a classic Connecticut River valley pediment, was removed from the building in the early 20th century, and is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[2] The tavern was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
