Our Location
Originally a farm road for tenant farmers on the Whitelock estate in the 1700s, Whitelock St. is the place where generations of Reservoir Hill residents have come to meet, shop, and enjoy their community. It has also been the scene of some hard times, including the riots of 1968 and looting during the blizzard of 1979.
In 1994, Baltimore City demolished all the buildings on Whitelock St. from Linden Ave to Brookfield Ave, and since then the neighborhood central corridor has been vacant.
The growth and success of Whitelock Community Farm has inspired similar revitalization efforts in Reservoir Hill. The Reservoir Hill Improvement Council has built the new German Park playground and will soon be building the Whitelock Community Park, adjacent to Whitelock Community Farm. These projects seek to re-establish Whitelock St. as the physical, emotional, and civic heart of the community.
Reservoir Hill was recently featured in Charm TV's "My Town" series, click here for a preview
