- Description
- This postcard shows the cottages of the Inn. It was on the northwest corner of today's Lakeshore Road and Burloak Drive, thus in Burlington, Ontario - or as the post card says, "17 miles east of Hamilton".
People remember chatting with friends over drinks at the Inn after playing the 9-hole golf course. There is a web forum "torontogolfnuts" on which people list "lost" golf courses, of which is this one.
- Notes
- The Lexena Inn was later called The Pig and Whistle Inn.
