Place: General Warren Tavern
Address: 2 Pleasant Street
Neighborhood: Charlestown
There are a lot of important buildings on Main Street in Charlestown! During my inspection on June 26, 2012, I arrived at the Warren Tavern. Joseph Warren is another important figure in Boston history.
To visit the Warren Tavern, ride bus route 92 on Main Street or Warren Street to the area of Pleasant Street, just south of Thompson Square.
"This is one of the first buildings erected after the burning of Charlestown by the British on June 17, 1775. It is thought to be the town’s oldest standing structure, having been built before 1780. It was renovated in 1972 by the Charlestown Development Corporation. Since its dedication in 1784, where Paul Revere, a frequenter of the tavern, delivered a speech, this tavern continues the tradition of hospitality. The tavern was named in honor of General Joseph Warren, a leading citizen, patriot, and physician who died in the Revolutionary War, being fatally wounded during the Battle of Bunker Hill."
