French Arms Tavern Floor Plan

 

Congress while in Trenton held its meetings at the French Arms Tavern in what was known as the "Long Room," a space measuring 43 feet by 20 feet. After a hard day's deliberation, members of Congress could retire to the barroom in the basement. Some members may also have been lodged in the upstairs rooms of the tavern.
