Richard March Hoe (middle name spelled in some 1920s records as "Marsh"; September 12, 1812 – June 7, 1886) was an American inventor from New York City who designed a rotary printing press identical to Josiah Warren's original invention,[1][2] and related advancements, including the "Hoe web perfecting press" in 1871; it used a continuous roll of paper and revolutionized newspaper publishing.

His father, with brothers-in-law Peter and Matthew Smith, established a steam-powered manufactory of printing presses in New York City.

Although he lived much of his life in New York City, he spent years renovating "Brightside" and gradually moved the family there about 1857.

Hoe's press used a continuous roll of paper five miles long, which was put through the machine at the rate of 800 feet (240 m) a minute.

Hoe lived with his wife, Mary, and children on a 53-acre (210,000 m2) estate, called Brightside, in the Morrisania/Hunts Point section of the Bronx.

This building still stands at the corner of Faile Street and Lafayette Avenue and houses the Bright Temple African Methodist Episcopal Church.

[7][8] His family sold the estate in 1904 to developers speculating on an expansion of the New York City Subway into the Bronx.Several streets in the area are named after historical figures in the printing industry.

The newly reconstructed park re-opened in April 2010, equipped with a play structure inspired by the rotary printing press.
