Historic Structures Report, Part I: Hampton Mansion, Cupola and Stairway
1960. Historic Structures Report, Part I: Hampton Mansion, Cupola and Stairway. 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 Cupola and Stairway of the Hampton Mansion. At Hampton Mansion emergency repairs and minor alteration of existing facilities are required, respectively by the roof of the cupola and the stairway from the main floor affording access to comfort stations in the basement.
