It is in the Whiteland Towne Center where it was once an old inn that once sat next to the Exton Diner at the site of the Exton Drive In Theater. It once housed a branch of the Hudson United Bank which became TD Bank.[1] According to another source, the building was built in 1788 where travelers would read a sign that said "Whitford Lodge - Team Room."[2] The lodge was originally built along a rural stretch of U.S. Route 30 (now U.S. Route 30 Business), also known as the Lincoln Highway.[3]
