Landmark status sought for Presbyterian Home in Towson

Councilman David Marks says he has met with representatives from the Presbyterian Home in Towson. The assisted-living facility is closing and will relocate to Harford County.

“I told them that my paramount interest is preserving the historic mansion and the setting in a manner that is sensitive to the community,” Marks said. “The paperwork has been submitted for landmark status – that ‘freezes’ any demolition, although the PHM representatives told me repeatedly that demolition is not a goal and, in fact, would be very costly.”
