During the 1880s, John T. Cummings opened the Melvale distillery on Cold Spring Lane in the Jones Falls area north of Baltimore. The distillery was built around an existing stone structure, itself established fifty years earlier, which had been a water-driven sawmill, and was also used for flour and cotton. The building still stands today, now as the central unit of the Fleischmann Vinegar Distillery (Burns Phips Foods, Inc.), the site's current occupant. None of the other original Melvale buildings are believed to remain, although some of the old Fleischmann buildings themselves appear to date back to the 1920s and '30s.
