MAX 410 at The Waters Edge is located in the oldest existing building in the Town of Glenville. It was formerly known as The River House, Little Richard’s Tavern, and for 105 years before that, it was a farmhouse privately owned by the Seeley Family.
In the early 1700’s, the land was owned by Johannes Van Epps, later sold to Volney Freeman, the same person who built Freeman’s Bridge in 1885. Descendents of the Seeley family lived in the residence from 1851 to 1956. In 1956, Mr. and Mrs. A. George Murray purchased the Seeley farm, a 22 room house and renovated it room by room, and it eventually included Little Richard’s Tavern.
Because of its unique architecture for this area, the house was registered in the State Historic Sites Survey and was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places.
