The Malden Inn (also known as The Kreppsville Inn or the John Krepps Tavern) [2] [3] is an historic, American building that is located in the unincorporated bedroom community of Malden, Pennsylvania at the junction of South Malden Road and Old U.S. Route 40 (US40).
It was designated as a historic residential landmark/farmstead by the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation.
History and architectural features
The inn's Malden location in the present-day borough of Centerville, PA), on the western part of the Amerindian trail known as Nemacolin's Path, had been part of an early wagon road that linked the river ford between Brownsville– West Brownsville with the former frontier towns of Washington, Pennsylvania and Wheeling, West Virginia, where the Emigrant Trail then allowed an easy crossing the Ohio River. The inn had a good commercial site on the old National Pike (U.S. Route 40) about three miles west of the long climb from West Brownsville and Denbo Heights. Located at the former junction of Malden Road, connecting northwards to Coal Center and California, it was situated about halfway to Centerville from the Brownsville ford and the ferry terminus below Blainsburg.
This inn was designated as a historic residential landmark/farmstead by the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation. [4]
