History:
Lansdowne/Baltimore Highlands Senior Center was created in the mid 1970's by Baltimore County who saw a growing need to provide programs and an eating program for the seniors in the communities. It began in local churches that rented out their basements to the County. In the late 1980's the County saw the need to build the seniors their own facility due to the growing senior population. The center has over 550 members and growing to a point where the facility needs to enlarge.
