White Horse Tavern is a historic inn and tavern located in Douglassville, Amity Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The building is situated on the banks of the Schuylkill River. It was originally built in 1765, and is a  2 1⁄2-story, five-bay, sandstone building with a gable roof. A  2 1⁄2-story, three-bay, addition was constructed in 1780.
