Regarding Barbara Fritchie Cabins & Tea Room. "Charles A. Faust broke ground on the south side of West Patrick Street in Frederick for the first portion of his 'bungalow court' in 1933. By 1946, forty residential and tourist cabins formed the complex called the Barbara Fritchie Cabins, named to capitalize on one of Frederick's most famous historical characters. The property was sold at auction in 1987, bringing an end to a half century of motoring history." -- Frederick County, 2006 by the Frederick County Historical Society.
