Historic Dickeyville Walking Tour

Dickeyville is a distinctive mill era residential neighborhood near the Gwynns Falls and Leakin Parks on the western boundary line of Baltimore City. It feature a variety of buildings from the late 18th century through the Victorian era. The diversity of residential buildings, extant community, church and mill-related structures, distinctive street plan, and intact park-like environment featuring the Gwynns Falls creates an old village character for Dickeyville that is unlike any other neighborhood in Baltimore City.

This unique environment began undergoing restoration in the 1930s. Dickeyville, therefore, represents one of Baltimore's first community preservation projects. There are many important examples of adaptive re-use in the area, and Dickeyville stands as a model for the preservation of small communities throughout Maryland.
