Butchers Hill (Baltimore, Maryland)

USA / Maryland / Baltimore / Baltimore, Maryland
 neighbourhood, draw only border

As its name suggests, Butchers Hill was once home to butchers and poultry preparers, many who were German American and Jewish American. Although today it is considered to be less affluent than Fells Point, it was once the more prosperous community of the two. This is reflected in the larger size of the rowhouses. Butchers Hill is in proximity to more gentrified sections of Fells Point, the draw of Patterson Park, and the employment center around Johns Hopkins Hospital. Many artists reside in the neighborhood. A portion of it is a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
