Known in the 1870s as River View House, this eighteenth-century dwelling was expanded by Albert Robins to capitalize on the growing travel trade in Oxford. The original four-room center-hall house is now encased within the 1875 structure, preserving the eighteenth-century raised pine paneling and woodwork. When expanding the inn Robins added the front porch and a third story within a mansard roof to accommodate more rooms. He named his business after one of Oxford’s most prominent early citizens, Robert Morris, an Englishman who arrived in 1738 as a factor for the trading firm Cunliffe Foster and Sons and was the father of the Philadelphia banker by the same name known for financing the American Revolution.
