Southern Boundary: the north side of Henderson Avenue, from Franklin Street on the west to Bedford Street on the east.
Historical Significance of the Southern Boundary:
The neighborhood’s southern boundary follows Henderson Avenue/National Pike, part of the historic National Road. Authorized in 1806 and begun in Cumberland in 1811, it was the nation’s first federally planned and funded highway. The Dumbhundred neighborhood therefore stands directly along a transportation corridor of exceptional national importance—one that helped open the American West to travel, trade and settlement.

Eastern Boundary: the west side of Bedford Street from Henderson Avenue on the south to Independence Street on the north.
Northern Boundary: the north side of Independence Street from Bedford Street on the east to the line formed by the northern boundary of the Saint Patrick Cemetery and on to the north side of Sylvan Avenue.
Western Boundary: the east side of Franklin Street from the north side of Sylvan Avenue on the north to the north side of Henderson Avenue on the south.
Other streets within the district boundaries include: Bond Street, Chestnut Street, Columbia Avenue, Columbia Street, Fairview Avenue, Furnace Street, Knox Street, Lena Street, Pear Street, Pulaski Street, Shriver Avenue, Sylvan Avenue, Valley Street and Walnut Street.

The Dumbhundred Historic District (Stony Battery–North End/Keller Survey) is an extensive 218-page Maryland Historical Trust survey file documenting the neighborhood’s architecture, history, streets, and changing physical character. It brings together the original survey materials from approximately 50 years ago with later evaluations, boundary information, property records, maps, architectural descriptions, and roughly 70 historic photographs of individual houses, streetscapes, neighborhood landmarks, and distinctive architectural details. These images make the survey especially valuable by preserving a visual record of how Dumbhundred appeared decades ago and providing a meaningful basis for comparison, historical research, and future preservation work.
The Cumberland Historic Preservation Plan, adopted by the City of Cumberland on January 2, 2024, is a comprehensive guide to identifying, understanding, and protecting the city’s historic resources. Richly illustrated with historic and contemporary photographs, maps, and information about Cumberland’s neighborhoods and architecture, it provides HDAC and neighborhood residents with an especially valuable resource for understanding the Dumbhundred Historic District and guiding future preservation and improvement efforts.

“Dumbhundred Historic District (proposed)”
The report also provides this more detailed description:
“Dumbhundred Historic District — Originally proposed as part of the 1976 Architectural and Historical Survey of Cumberland, the historic district first received a determination of eligibility from the Maryland Historical Trust in 1981. In 2004, following an update to the documentation, the Maryland Historical Trust again determined the district as eligible for listing in the National Register. The area contains a significant collection of worker housing as well as some architect-designed homes and relates to the city’s growing industrial economy in the late 19th century. The district also has strong ties to the city’s German immigrants.”
