| Havener House, c. 1796 |
|
| In 1803, Charles Tyler occupied the house as a store and dwelling. This dual use may explain the purpose of two entrance doors from the porch. John Hening was operating a House of Entertainment (tavern) there in 1820. For a time, the post office was operated from this house. |
During the Civil War, the house was likely used as a hospital. Local tradition asserts that the house
suffered a fire during the Civil War, but was not destroyed. Charred roof rafters, visible in the attic, support the
contention that there was a fire.The exterior was greatly renovated in 1933. |
| The Havener House, located at 13940 Braddock Road in Historic Centreville, is a contributing structure to the Centreville Historic Overlay District. |
