Rice's Hotel, also known as Hughlett's Tavern and Shirley Hotel, is a historic inn and tavern located at Heathsville, Northumberland County, Virginia. It is a quintessential courthouse tavern built in stages between about 1795 and the mid-19th century. It is a two-story, frame building with a 12-bay front and two-tier wooden piazza and Federal style interior. It is perhaps the largest traditional tavern in any Virginia town east of Fredericksburg and north of Gloucester Court House. The building closed in the late 1970s, and was subsequently donated to the Northumberland County Historical Society.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1] It is located in the Heathsville Historic District.
