Historic Structures Report, Part I, Administrative and Historical Data: Rehabilitation of Stables No. 2

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. 2 at the Hampton estate. Stable No. 2 was weatherproofed and repaired in 1954. At that time, further funds were expected for necessary restoration work. The "trotting-horse stable" will be stabilized temporarily, and opened to visitors as a stable of the Civil War Period. No exhibits or furnishings are planned under this temporary arrangement.
