The Howard County Courthouse is a former Courthouse building in Ellicott City, Maryland that now houses the Orphan's Court. A stone house on main street served as a temporary courthouse during construction from 1840-1843. The first structure remained in use until the building was lost in the collapse of a culvert in the 2018 Ellicott City Flood. The second courthouse was started with property that was purchased from Deborah Disney. The $24,000 granite structure designed by Charles Timanus started construction in 1840 taking three years to build. It was situated on a steep hill once named Capitoline Hill It also went by the nickname "Mt. Misery". The heavy granite block construction was said "should continue in service for centuries" by local historian Charles Stein in 1972. Howard County
