Dickeyville
Dickeyville preserves a mill-village street pattern, with stone and clapboard homes and a community walking-tour guide.
Dickeyville sits along the Gwynns Falls near Baltimore City’s western edge. The community association describes a small village of stone and clapboard houses, with Wetheredsville Road and Pickwick Road as its principal streets. Former mill buildings and later homes give the area a different scale from the larger subdivisions around it.
The village history traces its changing names and ownership: the Wethered family bought the mill in 1830, William J. Dickey acquired the property in 1872, and the Dickeyville name followed in 1896. Restoration after the village’s 1934 sale helped shape the residential place seen today. National Register listing came in 1972.
For an introduction, use the association’s self-guided walking-tour map. It explains former mill-related buildings and houses along the streets. Several landmarks have become private residences, including the former Ashland Chapel, so enjoy their exterior history without treating the guide as permission to enter. Prospective residents can also consult the association’s architectural and newcomer resources before planning work on a historic home.
