Question: why was the hills tavern renamed the century inn?

Crossroads Tavern, also known as Crossroads Inn, is a historic inn and tavern located at North Garden, Albemarle County, Virginia.  It was built about 1820.  In the mid nineteenth century, Clifton G. Sutherland, son of Joseph Sutherland, owned and ran the tavern which was located on the Staunton and James River Turnpike.  It served as a tavern and overnight lodging for farmers and travelers using the turnpike.  In 1889, Daniel B. Landes bought the land at the public auction of the estate of Clifton Sutherland.  The property continued to be conveyed to various owners over the years.  The Crossroads Tavern is an early nineteenth century two- to three-story, three bay, double pile brick structure.  The building sits on top of a brick and stone foundation, is roofed with tin and has pairs of interior brick chimneys on either gable end.  The brick is laid in five course American bond with Flemish variant.  Windows on the basement level at the rear of the house (north side) are barred; other basement windows are nine-over-six sash.  Put-holes are found at the west end of the building, formerly providing sockets for scaffold boards should repairs be necessary.  The front facade is dominated by a porch on the second story extending the entire width of the south and east facades.  It is supported by five rounded brick columns and the tin roof above is supported by simple square wooden pillars connected by horizontal rails.  Doors of the front of the basement level open respectively into kitchen and dining room and into a spirits cellar with its original barrel racks as well as a laundry fireplace.  Floors on this level were originally dirt but dining room and kitchen floors have been cemented.  The main entrance door on the second level, with its multi-panes lights, opens onto a central stair hall with tow main rooms on either side.  This stair hall has an ascending stair at its front and both ascending and descending stairs toward its center.  Formerly the ascending stairs led to upstairs areas which did not connect.  There is no ridge pole in the three attic rooms.  The interiors of windows and doors on the main entrance side have extremely long wooden lintels.  With few exceptions, the interior woodwork is original, including floors, chair rails, mantels and built in cupboards.  Also on the property is a two story contributing summer kitchen, brick up to the second story and frame above, and with an exterior brick chimney at the rear gable with fireplaces on both floors.  It is operated as a bed and breakfast. <SEP> Hill's Tavern is a historic building in Scenery Hill, Pennsylvania.  For a period in the early 1900s, the inn was known as Central Hotel.  It was heavily damaged by a fire that started shortly before midnight on August 17, 2015.  Now called the Century Inn, it had been the oldest tavern in continuous use on the National Road, until the fire brought an end to its 221 years of continuous operation.  The overnight facilities accommodated 23 overnight guests and the dining room could seat up to 140 guests.  The outdoor gazebo offered additional seating during the warmer months. <SEP> Ye Olde Tavern is a restaurant in Manchester Center, Vermont, USA, that is listed on the Vermont Register of Historic Places.  It was built by Aaron Sheldon from Dorset, Vermont, in 1790, making it the oldest inn in the state of Vermont.  It was also one of the first buildings in Manchester to house telephone lines, and was once "the headquarters for the movement to license the sale of 'spirituous beverages'."  It began as a tavern in 1790 called The Stagecoach Inn, before becoming Lockwood's Hotel circa 1850.  In 1860, the building was renamed Thayer's Hotel by the new owner, Steven Thayer.  It became the Fairview Hotel in 1902 and, in 1934, it was a hotel and antique shop run by the new owner Walter Clemons.  In 1975, it was renamed Ye Olde Tavern by Peter and Susan Palmer, who renovated the place in time for the 1976 United States Bicentennial.  The restaurant still has traces from its past. <SEP> The National Road (also known as the Cumberland Road) was the first major improved highway in the United States built by the federal government.  Built between 1811 and 1837, the 620 mi road connected the Potomac and Ohio Rivers and was a main transport path to the West for thousands of settlers.  When rebuilt in the 1830s, it became the second U.S. road surfaced with the macadam process pioneered by Scotsman John Loudon McAdam.
