Baltimore Architecture:
Then and Now
Timanus Mill, 2700 Block Falls Road
image infoThe lower part of Falls Road was originally known as Mill Road because it led from Baltimore proper to Elisha Tyson's pioneer flour mill in modern-day Hampden. Along the way it passed a number of other industrial plants, among them a stone mill built (ca.1802) by James Hughes, another pioneer industrialist. The structure was known for most of the first half of the 19th century as Hollingsworth's Mill, after the several members of the Hollingsworth family who operated it. In 1861 it was purchased by John T. Timanus (1824-1879), father of an 1890s Baltimore mayor, who oversaw its operations from his home, which stood on the present site of the Boy Scouts' building on the west side of Keswick Avenue between 29th Street and Wyman Park Drive. Baltimore's city directories list the family firm, D.C. Timanus and Brother, as operating the mill through 1927. Apparently it was torn down in the 1930s - only the milldam on the Jones Falls and a pile of rubble under the Jones Falls and a pile of rubble under the Cedar Avenue bridge marks its site today.
