Whitehall
Food Market
NEIGHBORHOOD: Woodberry
ESTABLISHED: 2020
THE BACKSTORY: Back in the 1700s,
the fast flow of the Jones Falls river was
used to power Baltimore’s flour mills.
Whitehall Mill was one such mill, owned
by the same family that settled nearby
Ellicott City. A half-century later, in
1839, the flour mill was converted into
a textile mill that made cotton duck
canvas for ship sails. After decades of
reuse in other manufacturing industries,
including paper goods and men’s
grooming products, the mill was recently
redeveloped as a mixed-use project that
includes the new Whitehall Food Market,
which sprawls over 18,000 square feet of
market and private event space.
THE VENDOR MIX: Whitehall scored some
hot culinary partners including True
Chesapeake Oyster Co., Ceremony Coffee
Roasters and Crust by Mack, a local smallbatch
bakery that specializes in craveworthy
hand pies. New concepts include
Heritage, from former Ouzo Bay chef Rey
Eugenio, and Homebody General Store,
focused on handmade home decor and
gifts curated by a local ceramicist. ■
