"Few historic structures remain at the western end of the community as a result of the expanding commercial and governmental activities of Towson, which is the county seat,” the Maryland Historical Trust inventory says. "Large-scale housing with commercial space on the first floor and office buildings have been constructed on the now-joined building lots that were created as part of East Towson, thereby blurring the edges of the neighborhood with that of Towson-proper. Furthermore, many of the historic structures in this section of East Towson have been lost in favor of parking lots.”
