A rectilinear red brick rowhouse of the late Victorian era, the home has three major historical points of significance: 1) built by Joseph Hopkins in 1875, nephew of the noted philanthropist, Johns Hopkins, 2) later occupied (1894-1899) by Ottmar Mergenthaler, of which the house gets its name, the inventor of the linotype which revolutionized printing, and 3) William L Marbury, US Attorney General for Maryland.
