THE SOUTHERN HOTEL
BALTIMORE, MD.
The Southern Hotel stands on the site on which
once stood the famous Old Fountain Inn of
Colonial days where General George Washing-
ton and his staff were entertained. It was one
of the best known hostelries in this part of the
Country and remained a land-mark until 1871.
The following year the Carrollton Hotel was
erected on the site, being quite up-to-date for
the times and named after Charles Carroll of
Carrollton, the last survivor of the Signers of
the Declaration of Independence. The Carroll-
ton Hotel was destroyed in the great Baltimore
fire of 1904.
