Ware's Tavern is a historic tavern (now a private residence) at 113 S. Main Street in Sherborn, Massachusetts. The two story wood frame structure was built c. 1780 by Benjamin Ware as a house for his family. It has a centered entry that is now sheltered by a Colonial Revival (early 20th century) surround. Ware's son Eleazer converted the building into a tavern; it was greatly enlarged with an ell to the rear c. 1840. The building ceased to be used as a tavern by 1889; an ell was removed sometime in the 19th century, and now stands at 109 S. Main Street.[2]
The tavern was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
