We ended up in Dickeyville. I was so enamered at the charm and beauty of this quaint corner of our community, that I decided to share my photos and some information I retrieved from the internet. Enjoy! The Dickeyville Historic District is a National Register of Historic Places-listed community located just inside the western edge of Baltimore City, Maryland near the intersection of Interstates 70 and 695 and adjacent to Kernan Hospital. A small community of about 140 homes and a historic mill, the village is on the banks of the Gwynns Falls and lies at the start of the Gwynns Falls Trail, a 15mile (24 km) walking and biking trail that is part of the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network. The village includes two main roads, Wetheredsville Road and Pickwick Road, and three smaller lanes, Hillhouse Road, Tucker Lane and Sekots Road. The village grew up along the banks of the Gwynns Falls from the late 17th century. Among the area's first settlers was Richard Gwin [or Gwynn], a Welshman who reputedly traded with the Algonquian Indians from 1672. One of the first of many mills on the Gwynns Falls was built in the vicinity in 1719 by Peter Bond, Gwin's son-in-law. Page 6 The red house at 5131 Wetheredsville Road In 1762, a gristmill and stone house was built by Wimbert Tschudi, a Swiss mill owner, and what is believed to be the ruins of this mill may still be seen on the banks of the Gwynns Falls today. In 1779, Wimbert's son, Martin Tschudi, patented a nearby plot of land called Sly's Adventure. The Franklin Paper Mill followed in the early 19th century, giving its name, Franklinville, to the village. In 1829, three enterprising brothers, John, George, and Charles Wethered, converted the Franklin Paper Mill to the manufacture of woolen cloth. The brothers also built the Ashland Mill on Under Dickey, the village again prospered and the east side of the village, expanded. Many new homes in addition to some 30 stone houses for workers, were constructed for the millhands, a Presbyterian a church and a school, church and a manse were and named the village built, and a village store, "Wetheredsville". John owned by Dickey, sold Wethered was elected to the United States Congress everything from buggy whips to licorice sticks. In as a Whig from 1843 to 1887, Dickey purchased 1845. an additional fabric mill House adjoining the old in Oella, Maryland, which mill remained in operation into In 1871, the Wethereds the late 1960s.[2] On his sold the property and death in 1896, the name Ashland Manufacturing of the village was changed Company to William J. from Wetheredsville to Dickey, whose family Dickeyville. The Dickey came from the market family sold out to the town of Ballymena in the Glasgow Mills in 1909, north of Ireland. He paid but with the decline of the $82,000 for 300 acres (1.2 km2), three mills and textile business, work in the many of the houses in the mills became harder to get. The Glasgow Mills closed village. and the formerly prosperous Dickeyville became a shanty town with a reputation for crime and low life. In 1934, the Dickey properties, which included much of the village of 81 homes, three mills and the Wethered-Dickey mansion on nearby Forest Park Avenue (the mansion has since been demolished) was sold at auction for $42,000. A local development company embarked upon the restoration of the properties. They decided that the old buildings should be preserved and only the totally unstable would be demolished. The buildings that remained might be redesigned and modernized but in such a way as to preserve their historic character. New homes must blend in unobtrusively with Woodlawn Villager the old. These requirements are initially overseen by the Dickeyville Community Association, a homeowners group formed in 1938. The Village was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1968. Notable buildings 2412 Pickwick Road The red house at 5131 Wetheredsville Road (built c. 1850) was the home of Billy Ware, a union soldier who was a flag-bearer at Gettysburg during the Civil War. The stone house at 5123 Wetheredsville Road (built c. 1810) was the home of Enos Humphreys, one of the founders of the Independent Order of Odd Celebrating the “Wonders” of Our Community Fellows (I.O.O.F.). One of the earliest meeting halls of that fraternal organization is still extant at 2412 Pickwick Road. The Presbyterian church 5116 Wetheredsville was founded in the 1870s and built in 1885. 5111 Wetheredsville was the home of the Ashland Mill superintendent. The springhouse and carriage house that served the property still exist at 2309 and 2305 Pickwick (respectively). 5107 Wetheredsville was built around 1810 and was, for many years, the home of the village lamplighter. The large home at 5101 Wetheredsville is the Mechanics Hall and was built in 1897 as a lodge for the Junior Order of American Mechanics, a union and fraternal organization. The building served as a village meeting hall, a concert hall for vaudeville and minstrel shows, and Madame Jolly's Waxworks, a show based on Madame Tussauds Waxworks in London before conversion to a private residence. A stage and footlights still grace one end of the main hall. Ashland Chapel, in the center of the village at 2331 Pickwick Road, was built on land given by the mill-owning Wethered family in 1849 as a house of worship for mill workers. The chapel, with its plain interior and lack of a slave gallery, became the Methodist Church. the small garden shed at one end of the property was originally a trolley stop. 5029 Wetheredsville (c. 1850) served as a home of the cow for the village dairy and a glove factory. 5027 Wetheredsville is more recent (built in the 1940s) but is known as "Little Mount Vernon" as it was designed to emulate that famous home. 5023 Wetheredsville was built in 1835 and served as the village apothecary and then as a candy store. The smaller homes at each end were built by the storekeeper for his newly married sons. 5016 Wetheredsville was the home of one of the millowning Wethereds; next door is the village dispensary and doctor's home, both built around 1840. The open area opposite 5017 was a trolley stop on the old Lorraine streetcar line, the railings are still visible. The nearby home at 5010 was built in 1810 for the Cherry Cough Syrup Co and later served as a tavern and a garage. 5008 Wetheredsville, built around 1865, was originally the village school. The last house on Wetheredsville road is 4901, built in 1865 for the Ashland superintendent, the grounds include the historic location of the Tschudi home. Martin Tshudi founded the first mill in the area around 1762. The graves of his wife and daughter can still be found on the hill. The Ballymena Mill (formerly the Ashland Mill) anchors this end of the village where Wetheredsville Road becomes a hiking and biking trail. The old woolen mill, built c. 1830, now houses commercial tenants. 2322 Pickwick was the home of the village shopkeeper, the old streetcar line ran inches from the corner of the home. 2332 Pickwick (c. 1832) is said to have been an Officers' Quarters at Fort McHenry before the home was moved to Dickeyville. The fourstory rubblestone homes at 2411 and 2407 Pickwick date from c. 1860. 2405 Pickwick ( c. 1860) was the village store. The second floor was meeting room for the YWCA. 2415 and 2417 Pickwick date from about 1870 while 2407 and 2411 date from around 1860. 2412 was built in 1853 for one of the first IOOF lodges in the U.S. There was a tin shop in the basement. Later, it became a general store, with a Post Office and gas station. The one-story extension to the right was the pharmacy. 2435 Pickwick Road 2423 Pickwick, built in the General Grant style in 1872, was restored as a studio by noted Baltimore muralist R. McGill Mackall in 1932. He built a complete two-story house inside so that he could live here as well as work. The house has been occupied ever since by artists. The present owner, sculptor Barry Johnston, September 2014 displays some of his bronze sculptures in the back yard. 2433 Pickwick (c.1875) was the home of Malcolm Moos, an advisor to President Dwight Eisenhower and reportedly had a direct telephone link to the White House. 2435 was built as a mill office in 1840. It also housed the village jail where offenders could be locked up in a windowless room on the first floor. In 1899, Teddy Roosevelt spoke from the wooden front steps (the main entrance to the building, now demolished). 2500 Pickwick is believed to date to 1790 and some say began as an Indian trading post. Known as "The Old Stone Row," the building served as millworker housing. The Dickeyville Community Association, the Dickeyville Garden Club and the Dickeyville Poker Club maintain an active schedule of community events. Most noteworthy is the Fourth of July celebration that includes a parade around Ashland Chapel and a dinner-dance on Pickwick Road. A Halloween Bonfire night, Christmas caroling and other holiday events occur through the course of the year. The Garden Club hosts frequent lectures and meetings while the Poker Club continues its own, more recent, tradition of late night poker sessions. The village should not be confused with the "other" Dickeyville; Dickeyville, Wisconsin. References "National Register Information System". National Register of Historic Places.

Page 7 Woodlawn Villager tember 2014 De Jackson On Family and Careers Hello family. We made it through summer, but I have to admit, I just love fall and spring. So, as we go into our season of changing colors, I have been pondering what to share with you. I have wondered many times if I taught my children the right values. Did I try to explain to them my mistakes and teach them about consequences? Did I make sure they knew God and how to treat one another? I hope so. I must say I like and love them and think they are the best (and that also includes all those I have “adopted” as my own-lol). My reflections drift back to simpler times: numerous conversations after soccer practice in the car about the win or loss of a game; chats at the dining room table about life with their homework spread everywhere; or a walk by an old picture that causes me to close my eyes and just smile. In asking myself if I did enough, I encourage parents not to hold onto regrets. Parenting does not come with a manual. The best we can do is educate ourselves and our children. Be willing to keep an open mind and not employ tunnel vision. You see, there is no right or wrong way to raise a child. But, there is the accountability we have to make sure they are loved, nurtured, listened to and yes, disciplined. If your childhood was not a positive one, make sure you learn the proper tools so your child won’t someday say the same. Create as many good memories as you can for they will provide strength one day when things aren’t going well. Identify who will be in your “village” of loved ones to help you raise your children and above all pray with and for them daily. You see, I believe with all my heart, someone prayed for me, so pay it forward family. Enjoy September (my birthday month) and October.

Woodlawn Villager September 2014 Celebrating the “Wonders” of Our Community In the Kitchen with Sue Time-tested recipes from Susan Jackson-Stein Tastes Like Chicken Friends who used to frequently travel to France thought it would be a “hoot” to bring me back recipes written in French with metric measurements for the ingredients.

Normandy, site of the WWII invasion and home of William the Conqueror is known for its hearty people, rich farmland, seafood, apples, cider and the apple-bases liqueur, Calvados. “Lapin au Cidre” is a true taste of the traditional cuisine of this area of France. A cuisine some say is disappearing in our plastic world. Serve this with a green salad, baguette (French bread) and for dessert, an apple tart or apple pie with cheese. As Julia Childs used to say, “Bon apetit!”. If you’ll allow me an aside, You’ve heard it said that snake, alligator, etc. “taste like chicken” It’s true depending on the cooking methods Domestic rabbit, too, falls in this class.

The project, known as BaltiMeter and run by the Baltimore City Department of Public Works, will provide every County resident with a water meter upgrade at no additional cost. The new electronic meters will use a wireless network to transmit water usage data directly to Baltimore City's billing system. The current metering system is outdated, as traditional meters still record and store data mechanically. Electronic meter technology is more efficient and improves reading and billing accuracy. Installation for the County's 200,000 customers September 2014 Celebrating the “Wonders” of Our Community will take about three years and is expected to be complete by April 1, 2017. A number of County residents have asked what happens if a pipe breaks during installation. The following is the answer to that question directly from the website: "If a pipe breaks due to contractor error, it will be the responsibility of the contractor to make the repair. If a water or sewer pipe breaks on the private portion of a homeowner's line - the portion from the water meter to the house - for any reason other than contractor error, the homeowner is responsible for the cost of that repair. The homeowner has two options to pay for the repair of the damage. He or she may choose to pay for the repair immediately, but recognizing that could pose a hardship for many, the homeowner may choose to have Baltimore County pay for the repair in which case the cost of the repair will be amortized over 40 years at five percent interest and added to the annual property tax bill. If the homeowner wants the County to pay for the repairs, he or she must first contact a licensed plumber and must have the estimate reviewed and approved by Baltimore County's Department of Public Works before commencing the work. This financing option is provided only for the "service" connection portion of private plumbing for residential homes - the portion of pipe from the water meter to the home." Detailed information regarding the installation of the new meters is available on the County's website at http://www. baltimorecountymd.gov/ Agencies/publicworks/ utilities/automatedmeters. html.

Joan Rivers passed on at age 81 on 9/4/14. She was, of course, most well known as a comedienne and television star/talk show host and author...of 12 books. She was the queen of insult humor, but mostly made fun of herself. But she was actually in a couple of movies. She had a small role in a movie from 1968 called The Swimmer starring the legendary Burt Lancaster. She did a movie with Billy Crystal in 1978 called Rabbit Test about the possibility of a man getting pregnant. She also wrote and directed it. She also appeared in film as diverse as Shrek 2 and Iron Man. She will always be known, though, for her stand up routines and brand of sarcastic humor. The controversial star will be missed.

Woodlawn Villager Celebrating the “Wonders” of Our Community September 2014 One Of The Biggest Events Of The Social Season Is Coming Soon. Chimes Gala Is Scheduled For November 1, 2014 Chimes is an organization that serves people with disabilities. It currently assists 18,000 people with disabilities in Maryland, the mid-Atlantic States and Israel. Founded almost 70 years ago in Baltimore, it was originally housed in the basement of a church. The children heard the chimes in the church and the name was born.\ Chimes provides job opportunities for people with disabilities. The individuals clean facilities that include BWI Airport, M & T Bank Stadium and Camden Yards. Each year Chimes honors people who have helped Chimes in its mission. This year’s honoree is Interline Brands / AmSan. These companies take pride in their long-standing partnership with Chimes. In addition to a total commitment of providing high-quality eco-friendly products, the companies have a corporate mindset of supporting people with disabilities. Chimes has a tradition of bringing big name people to its annual fundraiser. Acts like Little Anthony and The Imperials, Gloria Gaynor, The Pointer Sisters and Jay Leno have graced the stages at previous Galas. What makes this event so special besides the worthwhile cause is that the entertainment takes place in an intimate setting of a hotel ballroom rather than a big arena. Chimes Gala is more than just a fundraiser, it’s a party, a celebration of the accomplishments of the people that Chimes serves. This year, the legendary Beach Boys will headline the event, featuring original members Mike Love and Bruce Johnston. The theme is a beach party. Attendees are encouraged to wear Hawaiian shirts, khakis and other casual beach attire; no swim suits, please. The event also includes upscale cocktails, hors d’ oeuvres, scrumptious dinner, and a silent auction. Tickets are $275 per person and there are a variety of corporate sponsorships still available. The event takes pace at the fabulous Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel. Don't miss what is sure to be a great night.
