Est. 1880 · Victorian Architecture · Pike County History · 19th Century Hotel
The Tom Quick Inn occupies a pair of late-Victorian buildings on Broad Street in the borough of Milford, Pike County, Pennsylvania. The Terwilliger House was built in 1880; the adjoining Centre Square House followed in 1882. In the 1940s the two were combined under a single operation and given the name Tom Quick Inn.
The naming honors — or invokes — Thomas Quick, an 18th-century frontiersman from the Delaware Valley whose biography includes the killings of Native Americans, with historical estimates ranging widely. A monument to Quick stood for decades in central Milford and has been the subject of repeated petitions calling for its removal or the renaming of the inn. The conversation about Quick's legacy is ongoing in Pike County.
The inn today is part of the Milford Hospitality Group portfolio. It functions as a boutique hotel and full-service restaurant, with rooms reflecting the original Victorian architecture and a dining room serving regional cuisine.
Sources
The reports gathered at the Tom Quick Inn fall into a small, consistent set. Housekeeping staff have described returning to rooms that had been turned and made, only to find the bedding pressed and creased as if a person had laid down briefly and gotten up.
Employees have reported hearing their first names called from elsewhere in the building, with no source identified when they investigated. A specific guest room — unnamed in public sources — is referenced as the focus of more vivid accounts, including reports of a bed shifting position during the night.
The inn does not market itself as a paranormal destination. It appears in regional folklore round-ups (FrightFind, hauntedplaces.org) but the property's own marketing emphasizes the boutique experience and the restaurant. The activity reported here is small-grain, domestic, and not associated in sources with any documented on-site death.
Stay in this Victorian boutique inn assembled in the 1940s from two adjoining 1880s hotels — the Terwilliger House and the Centre Square House. Staff have reported finding made beds rumpled as if slept in, and guests have described their names being called when no one was present.
Dine at the inn's on-site restaurant, open Tuesday through Saturday evenings. The 19th-century building anchors the historic Milford streetscape and is a longstanding fixture of Pike County hospitality.

Gettysburg, PA
Built around 1810 by tanner John F. McFarlane and expanded with an 1833 brick addition, the Farnsworth House sits on Baltimore Street in Gettysburg. During the 1863 battle, Confederate sharpshooters occupied the structure, and the south-facing wall still carries more than 100 bullet holes from Union counter-fire.
Kewaunee, WI
The Hotel Karsten opened on Valentine's Day 1913 in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, replacing an earlier wood inn called The Steamboat House that burned in the early 1910s. Built and operated by William Karsten Sr., the 52-room Arts and Crafts hotel sits on the Lake Michigan shoreline and remains one of the few surviving hotels of its period in the region.
Austin, TX
Colonel Jesse Lincoln Driskill, a Tennessee-born cattle baron who supplied beef to the Confederate Army and later the Texas Rangers, opened The Driskill Hotel on December 20, 1886. Its first event, two weeks after opening, was the inaugural ball for Texas Governor Sul Ross. Driskill sold the hotel in 1888 after severe drought devastated his cattle herds and died in 1890. The hotel has hosted every Texas governor's inaugural ball since 1887.
