From History of Constable, NY: Oliver Bell and his sons, Samuel and Freeman, locating in Westville then to Constable, NY. Freeman built a frame house, sixteen by forty feet, with wing, a mile west of the Corners, on the road leading to Westville Center, and kept a hotel in a clearing of an acre and a half. In the war of 1812 this house was the headquarters of the commandants of the American troops who were stationed in the vicinity and also British officers who were there for a day or two after the evacuation by the Wilkinson forces. The old bench that stood in the bar-room, and on which the soldiers used to lounge when off duty, the old fireplace and a spinning wheel of that period are still preserved by Fred Bell, a grandson of Freeman. Lots of souvenirs were lost when the house was burned in 1908. The old sign, "F. Bell's Inn," that swung for many years from a post in front of the building, was also lost in the fire.
