For much of the 1900s, the ‘community room’ in the Charles Carroll – Westminster Hotel, built in 1898 by George W. Albaugh 117 East Main Street, was the center of the social and business community in Westminster. The building, pictured here from a postcard from approximately 1900, anchored the historic 100-block of East Main Street in Westminster. The block of buildings include the Ann Elizabeth Babylon House at 123 East Main, the Crout House at 127 East Main, and the Methodist Protestant Church at 129 East Main.
