222 Courthouse Court, Towson, MD 21204
The exterior of Bosley Hall, the former Baltimore County jail, was used in John Waters’ Hairspray when Tracy Turnblad (Ricki Lake) bursts out the doors of the Montrose Reformatory for Girls…
From the Hairspray screenplay: Exterior Reform School. “The Roach” is still playing on soundtrack. MOB of black and white fans await Tracy’s release. Suddenly, doors swing open and Tracy exits wildly doing “The Roach.” Cop car pulls up and Motormouth and L’il Inez hop out, dancing to insane applause. Even Cop starts dancing. Mob goes crazy. Tracy, still dancing, leads the happy Mob toward Auto Show, everyone dancing in glee.
