Here at Washington Hill Mutual Homes, home is where the heart is!
Washington Hill is a culturally, racially and economically diverse community, that covers 27 blocks of Southeast Baltimore. The community prides itself on inclusiveness. In the 1840s, the decade when Washington Medical College (present site of Church Home and Hospital), Washington Hill's namesake, moved closer to Baltimore City, Washington Hill was still considered a distant suburb. It was not until the decade before the Civil War that the building of large houses along Broadway and East Baltimore began in earnest. The belief that high grounds were surrounded by healthier air encouraged this trend, as did the availability of gaslight, and the fashionable townhouses at the top of Washington Hill were completed in the 1850s. Click here for our full property history.
