History

In 1907 Taylor Manor started as the Patapsco Manor Sanitarium built on property along New Cut road in Ellicott City owned by Dr. Rushmore White.[3] The twenty person facility suffered a fire in 1923.[4] In 1939 the facility was purchased by Issac H. Taylor and run as the Pinel Clinic. Taylor operated an optometrist business and Taylor’s Furniture on Main Street. In 1948 the facility expanded to 48 beds, and in 1968 it expanded to 151 beds.[5] The modern architecture circular rotunda stands out at the center of campus. Operated by Dr. Irving J. Taylor (1919-2014), and later Dr. Bruce T. Taylor in 1979, who served as medical director and chief executive officer, Taylor Manor covered more than 70 acres (28 ha) in Ellicott City Maryland. The Ayrd library is named after Taylor Manor Hospital Psychiatric Award winner Frank J. Ayrd.[6][7]

The campus property has been expanded and subdivided by the Taylor family. The southern portion became a county landfill and sections were sold for housing. The campus acreage totaled 55 acres (22 ha) in 2000.[8] By 2000, Taylor Manor had an operating loss of $1.1 million a year on $15.8 million in revenues. In 2001 Taylor manor’s programs were absorbed into the 1500 employee Sheppard Pratt system.[9]

In 2006 Grassroots crisis intervention center operated a 33 bed homeless shelter on the campus while expanding their facilities at Atholton High School.[10]

"Firsts" at Taylor Manor

In 1966, Taylor Manor started the first psychiatric treatment program in Maryland for adolescents.[11] Dr. Irving Taylor collaborated with on-site research into the drug Thorazine becoming the first to use anti-psychotic medicine on patients.[12] In 1983 Robert L Custer took gambling research from Ohio to Taylor Manor to create a Gambling addiction treatment center . He summarized that gambling addicts had a fear of dying and included a treatment plan that included repaying gambling debts.[13]
