FOR THE HISTORY BUFFS: Stunning & historically significant, the Mergenthaler mansion is a Baltimore City historic landmark which offers a neighborhood feel within the historically designated neighborhood of Bolton Hill.  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.⁣

The apartment is a unit offered at a monthly price of $2,150. The building also boasts a fitness center to help residents stay in great shape. Both cats and dogs are allowed, but as always, double check with the manager about any specific pet concerns you may have. The kitchen conveniently includes a dishwasher.
