Stone Hill Historic District, Industrial workers housing complex in Baltimore, Maryland.
Stone Hill Historic District is a residential complex spanning seven blocks with 21 granite duplexes, a superintendent's house, and a service building that overlook Jones Falls. The buildings sit between Pacific, Puritan, Bay, Field, and Worth Streets, forming a cohesive ensemble of mid-19th century construction.
Mount Vernon Mills built this residential complex between 1845 and 1847 to house textile mill workers. The district transitioned to individual ownership in 1925 when the mills sold the property.
The district exemplifies Rhode Island textile mill village architecture with private streets, gardens, picket fences, and front porches defining the residential character.
The area sits within Baltimore's residential neighborhood and is best explored on foot. Streets can be narrow, but the solid paved surfaces support comfortable walking throughout the year.
Every building in the district was constructed from granite, giving it a unified appearance that sets it apart from other industrial housing developments of its period. This consistent material choice shapes the character of the entire area today.
