Downtown Cumberland Historic District

The district spans 21 acres along Baltimore Street, featuring multistory commercial buildings constructed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Cumberland's downtown area developed into a commercial center during the industrial age, with structures originally built as banks, hotels, and department stores.

The pedestrian mall hosts weekly farmers markets, sidewalk festivals, and block parties that bring together local residents and visitors throughout the year.

Local preservation staff guide property owners through minor changes, while major alterations require formal approval through a Certificate of Appropriateness process.

Baltimore Street transformed from a main thoroughfare into a brick pedestrian mall lined with antique shops, boutiques, art galleries, and sidewalk cafes.
