General Warren Inn: The Face in the Stucco

The General Warren Inn near Malvern, Pennsylvania, photographed in 2023.

History & local legend

General Warren Inn near Malvern is named for Joseph Warren, who died at the Battle of Bunker Hill. In 2014, however, an out-of-state visitor thought a different Revolutionary figure appeared on the building: a patch of exterior stucco seemed to resemble George Washington screaming.

PA Eats reported that staff tried twice to photograph the face with their phones, only for both images to disappear. A third attempt remained, and the publication showed that photograph to readers.
