[1] Stratton's Inn stands in what is now a remote and rural area of northeastern Brookfield, on the west side of East Street.

The former inn is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, large central chimney, clapboarded exterior, and stone foundation.

The entrance is framed by slender Federal period pilasters, and is topped by a transom window and corniced entablature.

Near the entrance to the vestibule is a closet, providing access to storage under the stairs, from which it is surmised the tavern host dispensed drinks.

The property served as a stagecoach stop at least until 1838, and remained in the hands of Stratton's descendants until 1890, operated mainly as a farm.
