City House was inspired by our founding location in the Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. The building was built in 1906 by the architect Joseph Evans Sperry for a well know businessman and philanthropist, William A. Marburg. Marburg used his home at 6 E Eager Street as both a residence and as a space to advance his civic and business endeavors in the city. Marburg also had a home in the county , but built this property to be his city house. Original architectural drawings that were found in the basement vault in 2017 state “City House - William A. Marburg”, hence where the building today got its name.

In late 2017, the building began an extensive restoration process to repair and preserve its historic architecture and original features. After a year and a half the building reopened as City House Six East Eager. Today the building still maintains its ethos as a place for business to be cultivated and thrive; however, with 12 original Italian marble fireplaces, 4 original Tiffany stained glass windows, intricately detailed ceiling plasterwork and one of the oldest still operating automatic elevators built in a residence in the country—City House Six East Eager is far from your average office.
