White Horse Tavern, Colonial tavern near Boylston Street, Boston, US.
The White Horse Tavern operated in a two-story wooden building marked by a large square sign depicting a white horse near the intersection with Frog Lane.
Through the 1700s, the establishment changed ownership from William Colburn to Thomas Brattle, Jonathan Dwight, Joseph Morton, and finally Aaron Emmes in 1799.

Thomas Chamberlain and William Cleeres managed the tavern under Thomas Brattle's ownership after receiving their licenses in 1717 and 1718 respectively.
