Historic Structures Report, Part I: Hampton Mansion, West Wing
1958. Historic Structures Report, Part I: Hampton Mansion, West Wing. 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 the West Wing of the Hampton Mansion. It is proposed to install heat in this wing. It will be necessary to use all available wall space for heating and to install heating over all baseboards. Flooring in both rooms will have to be taken up and then put back in place.
