Summary
An extensive menu from the restaurant at the Potomac Hotel at 123 E. Potomac. Look at the prices!
According to "Brunswick: 100 Years of Memories" in a piece written by Marg Jones Smith, the hotel was owned by her father, prominent local businessman Howard Marvin Jones. Jones had purchased the Yardley Hotel at public auction in 1924 and renamed it the Potomac Hotel. He "intended to make a fine hotel with a quality dining room." The mystery is that Marg Smith wrote that her father's "dining room plans did not materialize." Maybe the menu was a prototype?
The Potomac Hotel failed and became a transient camp during the Great Depression. It finally served as the Brunswick post office until 1957 when the current one was constructed. The building along with others on the block were razed to make way for Weil Brothers Gasoline, Fuel Oil and Kerosene business, now L.S. Fuel.
