Stabilizaton Report: Mule Barn
Ingle JB. 1986. Stabilizaton Report: Mule Barn. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
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 Stabilization Report concerns Mule Barn at Hampton National Historic Site. The condition of the structure with the roof collapsed onto rotten loft beams and with masonry walls in precarious condition made the removal of individual members for investigative purposes unsafe. The bulk of this report deals with documentation of and recommendations for the Mule Barn as the report authors found it.
