The Baltimore County Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to support a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Eliasburg Residence in Owings Mills, recommending the county forward its endorsement to the Maryland Historical Trust.
Staff said the mid‑century modern house, designed by architect Ida Brown Webster and built in 1957–58, retains sufficient historic fabric to meet National Register criteria. "The property retains sufficient integrity to maintain its historic significance and character as a fine example of a mid century modern residence designed by Ida Brown Webster," staff said during the presentation.
The Eliasburg Residence sits on just under six wooded acres and includes a one‑story main house with two noncontributing garden sheds. Staff told the commission the house exhibits key modernist features — low horizontal massing, flat and varied roof heights, large aluminum‑framed windows and an interior plan and built‑in features that survive from the original design. Staff recommended the commission support the nomination under National Register criteria A (historic contexts) and C (architecture and design).
Commissioners asked no substantive follow‑up questions during the hearing. After discussion the commission combined the Eliasburg item with a second National Register nomination for a single motion and voted to support both nominations. Staff noted that, as a Certified Local Government, the county will forward the LPC recommendation to the Maryland Historical Trust for final National Register consideration.
The commission’s recommendation will be transmitted to Maryland Historical Trust as part of the formal nomination process; no local regulatory change or county expenditure was enacted by the recommendation.
