A one-and-a-half storey English Tudor Revival Style Inn, it may be compared only to its sister inns, The Red Dragon in Grimsby and The Black Horse in Niagara Falls, also built circa 1929. The high-pitched truncated hipped roof, with thatched-look rolled asphalt shingles, was said to be an authentic post-and-beam timber structure, not the standard balloon frame. The second-level windows, multi-paned casements, were recessed into the roof with curved \"eyebrows\". These \"eyebrow\" features were repeated above one lower-level window and the original front entrance. The exterior walls were originally stuccoed. A massive tall fieldstone chimney stands at the east end of the front elevation. The successful balance of the asymmetrical design of the front elevation can best be appreciated from the lakeside, south of the Lakeshore Road. The architectural style is based on the late Victorian and Edwardian English Revival of Tudor vernacular timber frame houses. The timber structures, stucco exteriors, large chimneys, and high pitched thatched roofs of fifteenth-century houses - (built in vernacular style, without architects - began to be admired in the late nineteeth century by William Morris and other leaders of the English architectural preservation movement, and then by the Arts and Crafts Style movement. In the early twentieth century the architect-designed Tudor Revival Style began to arrive in North America. Since very few original Tudor houses built in English urban centres had survived, the style became associated with tourist excursions by automobile to surburban destination points. The 1929 development of a chain of Inns with tourist cabins along Ontario's \"Golden Horseshoe\" lakeshore highways drew upon this connection between recreational excursions and the Tudor Revival Style. HISTORY: In the 1806 Plan of Nelson Township, Con 4 SDS Lot 1 is owned by a Mr Stafford. In the 1858 Tremaine Map, Con BF, Part Lot 1 is shown as owned by \" C. S.\" In the 1877 map of Nelson Township in the Historical Atlas of Halton County, this part of Lot 1 is shown as owned by C. E. Thompson, a Farms and Farminger, who sold it in 1929 to Hughes Cleaver, a lawyer and developer. Among Cleaver's development plans were the 1911 Crescent Survey near his family house on Caroline Street: the Emerald Street Boulevard was a prototype of Rossmore Boulevard in his 1923 Roseland and Roseland Park Surveys. English Tudor Revival Style houses are characteristic of the Roseland developments. Cleaver's other business ventures included the Bluebird Bus Line (its office building still stands at 2015 Lakeshore Road); a fox Farms and Farming on Caroline Street; and a cure-all remedy called \"radium water\", which is said to have ended one patient's troubles altogether. In 1929 Cleaver became associated with a company called English Inns Ltd, which planned to build four inns in the English Tudor Revival Style, with imitation thatched roofs - The Red Dragon in Grimsby, the Black Horse in Niagara Falls, The Pig and Whistle in Burlington, and another in Oakville, which was never built. On opening day in 1929, two Scots bagpipers piped in front of the Inn and there was a Tudor- Style menu: roast suckling pig. Annie Curtis, who lived at the northeast corner of Burloak and Lakeshore, prepared and cooked one of the pigs in her kitchen. The Inn was intended for summertime use only: it was to be open from May to September. The 1929 stock market crash forced the Inn to close after one season, and it was put up for sale. The 1929 crash left Cleaver financially embarrassed, and he was disbarred by the Law Society for misuse of his clients' funds. At the 1935 federal Liberal nomination meeting, he spoke effectively, saying that since his disbarment, he had no way of making a living other than serving as M. P. Having been nominated and elected, he gradually paid back his creditors and was reinstated by the Law Society in 1952. He then gave up his seat in Parliament to return to law practice. Alex Brown purchased the Inn, perhaps in 1937, and revived its fortunes. During the War, the tourist cabins were occupied by \"Farms and Farmingerettes\". In 1948 or 1949 the Calgary Stampeders stayed here for the Grey Cup game in Toronto. In the 1950s, during a housing shortage, the cabins were rented by the month. In the early 1950s the property was purchased by Peter Boszok and a Mr Levinsky. Levinsky sold his share to a Mr McDermid, who sold in 1958 to John Kawun and Paul Drozd. In 1960 Boszok sold to Peter Kupiak and Andrew Dutko. In 1961, an additional four acres were purchased; part of this property was sold in 1970. Big dance bands were brought in on Fridays and Saturdays from the 1950s to 1962. In 1970 the original garage was demolished. In 1976 the new dining room opened and a full liquor licences was obtained. It was previously licenced for wine and beer only. The cabins were demolished in 1977 and replaced with motel units in 1978. (The Red Dragon in Grimsby still has the original cabin units.) In 1988 the property was bought by the Penachetti family, Primo, Patrick and Paul, who continued to run it as a very popular Inn. In 1998 the property was sold to Hearthstone Partnership as a site for a seniors' condominum development. ENVIRONMENT: The authentic gateway building to Burlington, at the border of Bronte, the \"Pig and Whistle Inn\" is set at the corner of a large property. Its location across from the lakefront enhances its landmark status. Before Lakeshore Road was widened, the Inn had a driveway which circled round an immense tree which shaded the property. The structure now stands quite close to the public sidewalk, and small replacement trees have been planted at the roadside. USABILITY: The new owners, the Hearthstone Partnership, have renovated the building for use as a \"meeting and social space for Hearthstone owners, family, and friends\" in their new seniors' community development. INTEGRITY: Over the years various owners made numerous alterations and additions to the original structure. Windows and doors were altered, a small front entrance porch was added, and the original stucco finish was reclad with stone veneer. The recent renovation by the Hearthstone Partnership has restored many aspects of the English Tudor Revival Style inn's earlier character. On the exterior walls, the modern stone veneer has been replaced by stucco, like the original finish. The rolled roofline, with its characteristic \"eyebrows\" above the second-storey windows, has been retained. The add-on front porch has been removed. And, true to its corporate name, Hearthstone has preserved the original fieldstone chimney. This renovation was recognized by a Heritage Award in February 2000.
