About The Mt. Washington Mill Dye House Wedding Venue
1340 Smith Ave, Baltimore, Maryland 21209
As you might have gathered from the name, Mt. Washington Mill Dye House is a former mill located in the heart of Baltimore. For years, the space served as an industrial mill until 1923, when it was bought by the Maryland Bolt and Nut Company. From then on, it produced metal fasteners, including rivets and screws. The factory ceased operations in 1989 and sat dormant, waiting for its next life. It found it when it was transformed into an event venue. The space is operated by the same company that operates Meadow Mill and The Winslow at Parker Metal. These experts know how to throw an unforgettable party, and they will bring their unique vision to your celebration!
