Pig’N Whistle
Long in a state of disrepair, Eddie Bohn’s Pig’N Whistle Hotel/Motel
on W. Colfax caught fire last night.
Originally opened by larger-than-life boxer Eddie Bohn in the ’20s,
it was updated and added to over the years, until finally closing in 1991.
This was a particularly bad graffiti day a couple of years ago.
