In 1910, the year following its establishment, the King Philip Tavern of Lakeville was heralded as a "new breathing spot of the most attractive sort," and despite the fact that it was levelled by fire nearly a century ago, the King Philip Tavern has become an integral part of Lakeville's social history. The story of the Tavern (which was originally a private residence owned first by the Washburn family of lakeville and later by Fred C. Hinds of Newton who transformed it into a summer estate known as "Hindsmere") embodies the deep history of the vicinity. It may in fact be argued that to a certain degree, the story of the King Philip Tavern is the story of Lakeville.
