context_page_description: The Dickeyville Historic District is a National Register of Historic Places-listed community located just inside the western edge of Baltimore City, Maryland, near the intersection of Interstates 70 and 695 and adjacent to Kernan Hospital. A small community of about 140 homes and a historic mill, the village is on the banks of the Gwynns Falls and lies at the start of the Gwynns Falls Trail, a 15-mile walking and biking trail that is part of the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network. The village includes two main roads, Wetheredsville Road and Pickwick Road, and three smaller lanes, Hillhouse Road, Tucker Lane and Sekots Road.
context_section_description: The red house at 5131 Wetheredsville Road (built c. 1850) was the home of Billy Ware,  who served as a soldier in the Union Army in the American Civil War and carried the colors of his regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg.  The stone house at 5123 Wetheredsville Road (built c. 1810) was the home of Enos Humphreys, one of the founders of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.).  One of the earliest meeting halls of that fraternal organization is still extant at 2412 Pickwick Road.  The Presbyterian church 5116 Wetheredsville was founded in the 1870s and built in 1885.  5111 Wetheredsville was the home of the Ashland Mill superintendent.  The springhouse and carriage house that served the property still exist at 2309 and 2305 Pickwick (respectively).
  5107 Wetheredsville was built around 1810 and was, for many years, the home of the village lamplighter. The large home at 5101 Wetheredsville is the Mechanics Hall and was built in 1897 as a lodge for the Junior Order of American Mechanics, a union and fraternal organization.  The building served as a village meeting hall, a concert hall for vaudeville and minstrel shows, and Madame Jolly's Waxworks, a show based on Madame Tussauds Waxworks in London before conversion to a private residence.  A stage and footlights still grace one end of the main hall.  Ashland Chapel, in the center of the village at 2331 Pickwick Road, was built on land given by the mill-owning Wethered family in 1849 as a house of worship for mill workers. The chapel, with its plain interior and lack of a slave gallery, became the Methodist Church. the small garden shed at one end of the property was originally a trolley stop.  5029 Wetheredsville (c. 1850) served as a home of the cow for the village dairy and a glove factory. 5027 Wetheredsville is more recent (built in the 1940s) but is known as "Little Mount Vernon" as it was designed to emulate that famous home.
  5023 Wetheredsville was built in 1835 and served as the village apothecary and then as a candy store.  The smaller homes at each end were built by the storekeeper for his newly married sons.  5016 Wetheredsville was the home of one of the mill-owning Wethereds; next door is the village dispensary and doctor's home, both built around 1840.  The open area opposite 5017 was a trolley stop on the old Lorraine streetcar line, the railings are still visible.  The nearby home at 5010 was built in 1810 for the Cherry Cough Syrup Co and later served as a tavern and a garage. 5008 Wetheredsville, built around 1865, was originally the village school.  The last house on Wetheredsville road is 4901, built in 1865 for the Ashland superintendent, the grounds include the historic location of the Tschudi home.  Martin Tshudi founded the first mill in the area around 1762.  The graves of his wife and daughter can still be found on the hill.  The Ballymena Mill (formerly the Ashland Mill) anchors this end of the village where Wetheredsville Road becomes a hiking and biking trail.  The old woolen mill, built c. 1830, now houses commercial tenants.
  2322 Pickwick was the home of the village shopkeeper, the old streetcar line ran inches from the corner of the home.  2332 Pickwick (c. 1832) is said to have been an Officers' Quarters at Fort McHenry before the home was moved to Dickeyville.  The four-story rubblestone homes at 2411 and 2407 Pickwick date from c. 1860.  2405 Pickwick ( c. 1860) was the village store.  The second floor was meeting room for the  YWCA.  2415 and 2417 Pickwick date from about 1870 while 2407 and 2411 date from around 1860.  2412 was built in 1853 for one of the first IOOF lodges in the U.S. There was a tin shop in the basement. Later, it became a general store, with a Post Office and gas station. The one-story extension to the right was the pharmacy.
  2423 Pickwick, built in the General Grant style in 1872, was restored as a studio by noted Baltimore muralist R. McGill Mackall in 1932. He built a complete two-story house inside so that he could live here as well as work. The house has been occupied ever since by artists. The present ow
