Power, Garrett. "High Society: The Building Height Limitation on Baltimore's Mt. Vernon Place." Maryland Historical Magazine 79 (Fall 1984): 197-219.
Notes: In 1904 Maryland's first zoning law was passed. It disallowed the construction of any non-church building over 70 feet in height within one block of Baltimore's Washington Monument. This act, which was actually a move of selfish interest of the part of developers who were then marketing the Mount Vernon area to Baltimore's aristocracy, ended up being a major reason why twentieth centuries developers were thwarted and the area preserved in its nineteenth century landscape.

Warner, Nancy M., Ralph B. Levering, and Margaret Taylor Woltz. Carroll County, Maryland: A History 1837-1976. Westminster, MD: Carroll County Bicentennial Committee, 1976.
Notes: The authors of this county history concentrated on the daily life, not on the political development of the towns or biographical sketches of prominent people. They dealt with the schools, the organizations, the newspapers, how people obtain health care, and the influences of the national wars and the Great Depression on the County. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the twentieth century.
