Princess Anne - Washington Hotel, 1940sThis old colonial inn, built in 1744 during the reign of King George II, carries all who enter its doors back to the days when democracy was in the making. There are two stairways in this old historical hotel, side by side, one which was used by the ladies and the other by the gentlemen. The sides of the colonial mantle are worn away where, nearly 200 years ago, men propped their feet by the fire.Aug 23, 2023
