Here is the "cottage" that is probably being referred to in the name "Cottage Lane". This photograph was taken in 1914 or earlier, and is of the Pleasant Plains Farm turned over by Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett and her sons John Work Garrett and Robert Garrett to Eudowood Sanitarium in 1914 for the employment of convalescent tuberculosis patients. This house likely stood on land now located behind the homes on the northeast side of Cottage Lane, near what is now the alley that leads to Putty Hill Road.
Eudowood Sanitarium, Burke Avenue, Towson. # 6948048, News American photo of c.1930 shows the former Stansbury mansion, much altered to serve as an Administration Building (partially hidden by trees) , and one of the annexes-(either recreation or infirmary. The mansion was much altered from its original appearance as seen in 19th or early 20th century photos. The Union, May 27, 1911, reported that the Dr. R.C. Massenburg of Towson (a pharmacist), as the County Health Officer, had authorized the exhumation of several bodies from the Stansbury family burial plot on the Eudowood grounds and their reinterment in the family lot in Greenmount Cemetery held in the name of Mrs. Eudocia Stansbury. Involved in this removal were: Thomas Stansbury Sr. (d. 1816); Thomas Stansbury, Jr. (husband to Eudocia), d. 1856; Deborah (with a weather-obliterated last name), d. 1842; Annie Powell (d. 1837) and John Powell (d. 1838).
This was taken by a News American photographer circa 1938 and shows the Eudowood Sanitarium that was once located on Burke Avenue near Putty Hill Road. Pictured are the Medical Building built in 1925, the Wilhelmina Hofman Uhrig wing built in 1938, center, and the Marie Bloede Memorial Pavilion, right.
