Documents issuing a license to "keep an Inn or Tavern, to retail strong Liquors." The first document (5 1/2 x7) issued and signed by Abraham P. Lott. Commissioner of Excise, dated February 1, 1784. The second document (5 x 6 1/2) is signed by Mayor James Duane (1733-1797), and is dated March 6, 1794. During the colonial period Duane became a prominent lawyer, and was a political moderate. While he opposed the Crown's taxation policies, he was opposed to violence. Duane would become a member of the Continental Congres, Indian commission, state senator, federal judge, and would be appointed mayor of New York City, which was a post he held for six years. The present liquor license was granted to Alexander Frazier to operate a tavern at No. 17 Morris Street. American National Biography.
