Interim Report on Stoves at Hampton
Peterson CE. 1949. Interim Report on Stoves at Hampton. Historic Furnishing Reports. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Washington, D.C.
Hampton National Historic Site preserves the Hampton Mansion, once possibly the largest private home in America and grand example of late-Georgian architecture in America. Hampton is also the story of its people, as the estate evolved through the actions of the Ridgely family, enslaved African Americans, European indentured servants, and paid laborers within a nation struggling to define its own concept of freedom. This report gives historical information concerning the stoves at Hampton Mansion.
