Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 114. Not illustrated. Chapters: Towson, Maryland.

The Court House, still in use, was designed by Dixon, Balbirnie and Dixon and completed within a year, constructed of limestone and marble donated by the Ridgely family, on land donated by Towson merchant Grafton Bosley. The Courthouse was subsequently enlarged in 1910 through designs for north and south wings by Baldwin and Pennington. Expansion in 1926, and 1958 created an H-shaped plan. From 1850 to 1874, another notable land owner / Amos Matthews, had a farm of 150 acres (0.61 km) that - with the exception of the 17-acre (69,000 m) largely natural parcel where the K...
