435 East Pennsylvania Avenue (House), 435 East Pennsylvania Avenue, Towson, Baltimore County, MD

Significance: 435 E. Pennsylvania Avenue, a frame shotgun house probably constructed in the latter half of the 19th century and extended to the south after 1929, exemplifies a building type often present in African American settlements like the East Towson Historic District. (Shotgun houses are gable-front linear plan structures without halls that are typically three rooms deep.) The shotgun is commonly found in the southern United States and is not typically associated with Maryland architecture.
