History of Tom Quick Inn

History

The Tom Quick Inn emerged from the joining of two downtown Milford icons: Centre Square Hotel, and Terwilliger House, a boarding house and restaurant. Even before the buildings were connected, the location became a popular destination for residents throughout the Tri-State area, with guests bicycling across the Delaware River from Port Jervis, NY to dine at Terwilliger House’s popular restaurant.

In 1950, both properties were purchased by Bob Phillips Sr. who connected the two buildings that became known as the Tom Quick Inn. Both original buildings are respectively listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. 

As a Milford Hospitality Group property, today’s Tom Quick Inn continues the legacy of Centre Square and Terwilliger House by attracting guests from the Tri-State and beyond with inviting rooms and an appetizing menu. In fact, Milford Hospitality Group was formed, in part, to bring Tom Quick Inn back to its rightful place as a community centerpiece and historic site. From upscale dining and craft cocktails, to antique décor and creature comforts, Tom Quick Inn has everything needed for your leisure.
