Historic Structures Report, Part II, Architectural Data and Survey Report: Rehabilitation of Stable No. 1
Souder NM. 1963. Historic Structures Report, Part II, Architectural Data and Survey Report: Rehabilitation of Stable No. 1. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
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 Historic Structures Report concerns Stable No. 1 (Bldg. 20) at the Hampton estate. The report details existing conditions and recommends rehabilitation measures. It has been proposed that the first-floor of Stable No. 1 be used as a display area for the Hampton collection of carriages. This will involve the removal of the late period stalls and granary enclosure.
