After the school was moved to Towson in 1914–1915, Richmond became the first principal to live in the white, colonial style house "Glen Esk" (now near Prettyman Hall).
This was the residence of one of the estates existing on the land facing York Road, south of old Towsontown that was secured for the school.
Because it was no longer suitable for a family, as students were occasionally found passed out on the lawn, it was eventually turned into the Counseling Center.
In 1971, as Earle T. Hawkins, former president of Towson State University, researched the school's history, he became especially interested in the meaning of the name of the house, "Glen Esk", now the counseling center.
In response, he received a letter from the wine and spirits importers Maynard and Child, Inc. of Scotland, who included a label from their brand of whiskey called "Glen Esk."
