Photographs from Baltimore County Public Library's Legacy Web Project

Taken from the I-83 overpass, looking east on Timonium Road circa 1959. Northbound exit (stalled car). Heavy traffic possibly due to freight train (crossing just out of sight further east). Timonium Road was one lane in each direction. Schoolbuses may indicate time of photograph was afternoon.
Timonium Drive-In marquee visible just below second utility pole near top center of photo.

Intersection of Galway and Quaker Ridge Roads, looking down Quaker Ridge towards Pine Valley Drive. Early Spring 1959. See it as it is today!

Imagine you have turned 90 degrees to your left from the above photo, and continued on Galway west a dozen yards or so, then turned to your right and photographed the back yards of the homes on Quaker Ridge. That's this image - Galway ended just past the left side of this photo.

The foreground building is the business that would become Teledyne Energy Systems throughout the 70s and 80s. (Does anyone know the name of the original tenants?) This structure, remodeled and expanded is now the home of the Maryland Athletic Club and other related tenants.
The structure in the background is the S.M Christhilf Construction Supply business. The structure was demolished in 2000, after the successor business had moved on. The entire complex is now part of the MAC.

Timonium Mansions in its final years in the 1970s. This historical structure was the home of the family that gave Timonium its name. Architecturally unremarkable, and in poor repair, the structure and the surrounding trees were demolished to make way for a car dealership.

Early 1950s aerial view of York Road from Ridgely Road (bottom) to the State Fairgrounds (top left). This photo, taken several years before construction began on Pine Valley, shows the rural character of the Timonium area in the postwar years.
