Text Appearing Before Image:
THE LAMB TAVERN.

The Adams House on Washington street now stands on the site
of the famous old hostlery the Lamb Tavern—sometimes styled
in White Lamb. The "Lamb," was an unpretentious building
of two stories, but of good repute in Old Boston. The sign is
noticed as early as 1746. Col. Doty kept at the sign of the
Lamb in 1760 ; Edward Kingman kept it in 1826, after which it
was conducted successively by Laban Adams, for whom the house
was named, father of "Oliver Optic" (W. T. Adams), and by
A. S. Allen. The first stage-coach to Providence, advertised
July 20, 1767, by Thomas Sabin, put up at the sign of the Lamb.
The White Horse and the Lion Taverns, well known public re-
sorts, were near neighbors of the Lamb.
