This frame structure, completed in 1833, became the second home of Bagley’s Tavern. Amasa Bagley first established the tavern in the 1820s in a log cabin after coming to this area in 1819 with his family and four other settlers. He was appointed associate judge of the Oakland County Court in 1820. Shortly afterward, Bagley and William Morris, the area’s first sheriff, established a brickworks and a saw and grist mill, but they were best known for Bagley’s Tavern, which hosted social and political functions.
