Established in 1704, it was originally named the William Penn Inn, but changed its name in honor of General "Mad" Anthony Wayne. There is a legend that the building is haunted by Hessian soldiers.

Recently it has been purchased by Chabad of the Main Line, and has been converted into a synagogue and Center For Jewish Life. [ [http://www.chabadmainline.org/ Chabad-Lubavitch of The Main Line ] ]
