Dickeyville is a charming, historic mill village nestled along the Gwynns Falls on the western edge of Baltimore City, Maryland. This distinctive neighborhood is a nationally registered historic district, renowned for its remarkably preserved 19th-century architecture, including stone and clapboard homes originally built for mill workers, as well as an old mill building and a historic church. Its unique, serpentine street pattern follows the curves of the Gwynns Falls, contributing to its secluded, village-like atmosphere that feels a world away from the urban bustle of Baltimore.
The neighborhood's history traces back to the late 1700s, evolving from early paper and grist mills to a bustling textile manufacturing center under various owners, including the Wethered and Dickey families. After a period of decline, Dickeyville underwent one of Baltimore's first community preservation projects in the 1930s, meticulously restoring its historic character. Today, it offers residents a tranquil, green oasis with direct access to the extensive Gwynns Falls Trail for hiking and biking, all while maintaining a strong, close-knit community spirit with active associations and regular social events.
The Dickeyville Community Association (DCA) is a 501 (c3) organization created to maintain, improve, and protect the Baltimore City area known as Dickeyville. It endeavors to be driven by its membership.

Orianda House, built in 1857 at a cost of $9,170.69, was designed by Niernsee and Neilson, architects. This country mansion was the summer home of Thomas de Kay Winans, a wealthy railroad entrepreneur, and his Russian-born wife, Celeste Louise Revillon. Thomas, son of Baltimore & Ohio Railroad industrialist Ross Winans, purchased several farms to create the Crimea estate. Tenants raised cattle, wheat, corn, and other crops and maintained Winans’ greenhouse and horse racetrack. The Chesapeake Baltimore Outward Bound Program currently uses several of the estate buildings. The Friends of Orianda House maintain a museum room in this building. A Gwynns Falls Trail office is in the remaining tenant house.
