A sprawling mill campus tucked into Baltimore's Dickeyville Historic District has hit the market for $4.95 million, according to Baltimore Business Journal. The property at 4900 Wetheredsville Road sits in a tiny former mill community in West Baltimore that dates back to the 1800s, and the complex itself spans close to 20 acres along the Gwynns Falls.
The listing covers roughly 62,000 square feet of buildings spread across 19.6 acres and three parcels, according to citybiz.co. The site includes a collection of connected mill buildings, a historic brick smokestack, surface parking, and a bridge crossing the Gwynns Falls, the outlet reports. Jim Chivers, Mitch Gold and Will McCullough of Gold and Company are assisting the sellers with the deal.
A Concert Business Called It Storage
Before going up for sale, the campus had a far less industrial second life. The current owners used the buildings for storage and office space tied to their concert production business, per the same account. It's a quiet modern chapter for a site with roots stretching back more than two and a half centuries.
The owners didn't just mothball the property, either. They worked with Alexander Design Studio on a concept plan showing how the existing buildings could be reconfigured and how the broader site might be redeveloped for new uses, the report notes. Specifics on what those new uses could look like, or whether any plan has moved beyond the concept stage, were not detailed.
A Mill Town With Roots Before the Revolution
Dickeyville's industrial story predates the United States itself. A grist mill was already operating near the site by 1759, according to the historical account relayed by citybiz.co. More than a century later, in 1872, Irish-born textile manufacturer William J. Dickey purchased the mills, 300 surrounding acres and the village homes for $82,000, the outlet reports. After a fire tore through the operation, the Dickey Company rebuilt the mill the following year, in 1873.
The former mill community that grew up around those buildings is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Baltimore's own historic-districts office describes Dickeyville as a surviving mill town featuring a mix of buildings from the late 18th century through the Victorian era, according to the City of Baltimore.
Part of a Broader Wave of Mill Conversions
Dickeyville's mill campus isn't the only piece of Baltimore-area industrial history drawing fresh attention. Elsewhere in the region, the $86 million transformation of Historic Ellicott Mill into luxury apartments and retail space was reported to be nearing the halfway mark as of September 2025, with staged openings expected to begin in spring 2026, according to Baltimore Business Journal. Whether the Dickeyville campus follows a similar path toward residential or mixed-use redevelopment remains an open question, with no indication yet of offers, a sale, or approved redevelopment plans for the Wetheredsville Road property.
