Howard Hall

Howard County officially became the 21st of Maryland’s 23 counties in 1851. It was originally part of Anne Arundel County and was designated the Howard District in 1839, in honor of John Eager Howard, statesman, soldier, and fifth governor of Maryland. The Patapsco Female Institute was one of the first schools in the country to educate women academically. Built in 1837, the school (now an historic park) was constructed on land in Ellicott’s Mills donated, in part, by the Ellicott brothers.

Trash Removal

Air Conditioned Building with Seasonal Transitioning

Howard Hall operates on a seasonal heating and cooling schedule, with transitions typically occurring in April and October. Depending on the season, heated or chilled water circulates through the pipes to regulate room temperature. Each unit is equipped with an air handler for air circulation, with filters changed three times a year, and a wall-mounted thermostat allowing residents to adjust the mode, fan speed, and temperature setting.
