===Historic Downtown Frostburg=== Historical Downtown Frostburg was constructed between the years of 1870–1915 when the town was entrenched in the mining and brick making industry. The Princess Restaurant, located on Main St., has been in business since 1939. Former [[Harry S. Truman|President Truman]] visited the restaurant shortly after he left office; a framed sign hangs above the booth in which he sat.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.princessrestaurant.com/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090516203005/http://www.princessrestaurant.com/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=May 16, 2009|title=Princess Restaurant β Since 1939}}</ref> The Hotel Gunter, located on Main St across the street from the Princess Restaurant, opened in 1897. Originally named Hotel Gladstone, the original hotel had 100 rooms, a cafe, a barbershop, and a sample room for displaying traveling salesmen's wares. The hotel tanked and was sold in 1903 to William Gunter, who renamed it the Hotel Gunter in 1925. He installed a jail for prisoners being transferred and a [[cock-fighting]] ring in the basement. The hotel's basement was also used as a speakeasy during prohibition.<ref name="gunterhotel">{{cite web|url=http://www.gunterhotel.net|title=About Us/about|website=The Gunter Hotel|access-date=October 9, 2017}}</ref>
