Since 1905 the Elm House has been a
part of Norway, and one of its best
known landmarks. In that year, accord
ing to the two town histories, Joshua
Smith built small store where the inn
now stands. and later put up additions
until in 1872 the whole was opened to the
public. 1t has been stated that this was
the first public house in the village but it
appears that one Joseph Stevens kept a
tavern as early as 1900 A DR.. Case also
ran a tavern in the village about the time
that Joshua Smith built his store, but he
did not stay long. William Hobbs opened
a tavern in 1907, but he also found the
going hard, and in the end it was the
Elm House that survived. for a period of
l04 years. Recently the furnishings were
sold at auction. and soon the structure
will be torn down. And as at the begin
ming, the old order changeth, and the an
cient Elm House will make way for a
garage!
