Historic Structure Report, Addendum, Architectural Data: Hampton Mansion
James AO and Batcheler PH. 1981. Historic Structure Report, Addendum, Architectural Data: Hampton Mansion. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Denver Service Center. Denver, Colorado
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. The following three studies on historic views, historic stucco evidence, and east hyphen dating should help to clarify some of the physical history of Hampton mansion and to provide a sounder basis on which to make restoration decisions.
