About Butchers Hill
Butchers Hill is a neighborhood in Southeast Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is north of Fells Point, east of Washington Hill, and northwest of Patterson Park. It is south of Fayette Street, west of Patterson Park Avenue, north of Pratt Street, and east of Washington Street. It is in the 21231 zip code.
As its name suggests, Butchers Hill was once home to butchers and poultry
preparers, many who were German American and Jewish American. It was a village
prior to the Civil War. 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 National Historic District.
Laura Lippman's novel Butchers Hill tells the story of a private investigator
working in this part of Baltimore.
