Levi Hollingsworth built a mill here to roll and fabricate refined blocks of copper that were shipped to Baltimore from Wales and hauled to the mill by oxcart. The copper used for the roofing of the original dome of the Capitol was rolled and fabricated here.
The actual copperworks building is a stone structure on the left side of Harford Rd when traveling North. It is across the street from the marker.
