Dickeyville Historic District

Stone row houses, clapboard residences, and Victorian buildings line the irregularly shaped streets along the winding Gwynns Falls in western Baltimore.

Initially established as a mill town in the late 18th century, the district gained its current name from William J. Dickey, who acquired the Ashland Manufacturing Company in 1871.

The district preserves architectural elements from multiple periods, including fieldstone structures, Victorian wooden details, and mid-twentieth century suburban houses within a village layout.

The 140-home neighborhood connects to the 15-mile Gwynns Falls Trail system and sits adjacent to Leakin Park, providing direct access to outdoor recreation.

The district represents one of Baltimore's first community preservation initiatives, starting restoration efforts in the 1930s and earning National Register status in 1968.
