[11] Towson High School was originally located on East Chesapeake Avenue, in a small brick structure built in 1873.

The Aigburth Vale house, still standing near the school's athletic field, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

[15] The present 5-level stone structure completed in 1949 includes a large auditorium with theater-style seating, a gymnasium, and a cafeteria.

The fourth floor was originally used for administrative offices, then became an art studio, and currently contains two classrooms and a computer lab.

The library and science wing were added in the mid-1960s and the entire school underwent extensive upgrading in the late 1990s, including the installation of modern heating and air conditioning.

[17] By 2018, the school exceeded design capacity by approximately 300 students, using portable structures to accommodate the overflow.

The Baltimore County Board of Education included funding for replacement buildings for Towson and Dulaney High School in its overall capital budget request of $216 million for Fiscal Year 2020, renewing the request in its FY2021 budget submittal to the state of Maryland for appropriation.
