Abstract
This article discusses the historical significance and current challenges facing Old Main, a cornerstone of Frostburg State University, since the school's opening in 1902. It dives into the building's history and its numerous uses throughout the years. Despite proposals for renovation, the building is now closed; the paper presents questions about whether preserving this historical landmark is viable or has reached the end of its practical use.
