During the revolution, the building was used by the Adams, Hancock, and Quincy families, where the wives often sewed and mended clothes for the colonists. In the 19th century, the property was frequented by Former US Secretary of State Daniel Webster, where, legend has it, he drank a tall tumbler of brandy and ate a half dozen oysters every day.

The booth he sat at is still there and features a plaque in his memory. Union Oyster House caters to weddings with between 30 - 80 guests.
