I certainly like it. Looks like a fortified mansion. In the Middle Ages, 
building in stone was reserved for the rich, so most buildings were made of 
wood (hence the many fires; remember London in 1666). So, I believe this is 
too expensive to be a tavern... but never mind :-)  These kind of buildings 
(are you planning more?) could be great for the creation of some kind of 
town... (oh... just thinking of the Discworld...)

Now for a couple of comments:
The use of image_maps is alright, but be aware that they should be in 
balance with the structure and the people living there. The stones appear 
alright at first glance, however I think they are a bit oversized if you 
imagine a person in front; also in comparison with the size of door and 
windows. The wood beam textures should certainly be scaled down. They appear 
too large imo.
What Are you going to do for the roof? Slates? Tiles? Thatch?
