Linwood Center

Linwood Center, located in Ellicott City, Maryland, is a historic home built in the early 1800s using slave labor. This expansive seventeen-room brick house has a rich history, including its transformation into a center for disturbed children in 1955, founded by Jeanne M. Simmons. The center has evolved over the years, notably expanding its autism services in 2012 to accommodate more children. The surrounding neighborhood has maintained its character through strict development regulations, making Linwood Center a significant site for both historical and educational exploration.
