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.
Established as a village before the Civil War, Butchers Hill was once home to butchers and poultry preparers, many of them German American and Jewish American. It was once more affluent than nearby Fells Point, as reflected in its generally larger rowhouses. Butchers Hill is near more gentrified sections of Fells Point, Patterson Park, and Johns Hopkins Hospital. A portion of it is a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
