In 1889 Baker incorporated the Atlantic Transport Line in London, and chose to start construction of the Ingleside Mansion.

In April 1918, the Bakers turned the mansion over to Company C of the food production committee of the women's section of the Maryland defense council to support the war efforts.

Governor Emerson Harrington gave a speech at the mansion porch in support of the efforts in July 1918.

[7] In May 1920 Carozza was charged with violating the Volstead Act with the seizure of 470 to 520 cases of whiskey worth $50,000 on the premises.

[16] In 1926, Carozza mortgaged the Ingleside estate to his Carozza-Rowe business partner H.M. Rowe and again to Addison E. Mullikin.

Rowe's son killed his father, stabbed his sister, pushed his mother into a fire, and was found dead in the Severn river soon afterward.

The painting was not damaged in the fire that gutted the mansion and was later donated as part of the Walters Art Museum collection in 2000.

[24] The Bermans rapidly expanded local operations, building the Laurel Shopping Center in 1956, and later joined with The Rouse Company to develop their largest project, the planned city of Columbia, Maryland.
