Reasons for selecting the Catonsville site included: the site was adjacent to I-695 and not too far from College Park; it was large enough to allow for future development of the campus; the state already owned most of the land. The photograph shows a view from Hilltop Building looking toward the Spring Grove Farm. The road running right to left in front of the barns is Walker Avenue. Baltimore Sun Photographs, gelatin silver prints; black-and-white photographs.
