Mt Ida is a historic home in Ellicott City, Howard County, Maryland. Mt. Ida was built for William Ellicott, grandson of one of the city's founding brothers, Andrew Ellicott in 1828.[1][2] It was built by Charles Timanus, who was also the principal builder of the neighboring Patapsco Female Institute.[1] Judge John Snowden Tyson and family lived at the residence from the 1850s, with his daughter Ida Tyson, for whom the mansion is now named, remaining in the house until the age of 90 in the 1920s.[3][2] Commissioner Charles E. Miller attempted to rezone the property to convert the mansion into office buildings in 1972.[4] As of 2013, the mansion was owned by the Miller Land Company.[1]
