In 1789 he turned the management of the inn over to his son, Charles, who then passed it to his son, William, in 1834. The inn lies just beyond Malvern in East Whiteland Twp., in Chester County. It was built in 1745 and was known as the Admiral Warren Tavern until after the Revolution. Thereafter, it was called the General Warren Tavern. During the Revolution it was run by a Tory landlord and was used as a meeting place of the Tories. At one time the inn was considered the county seat ofChester County. The original tavern burned in 1831, and at once rebuilt much as it is now. As of 1945, because of the Lancaster Turnpike, it is no longer on any main road, though it still operates as a tavern.
