Notes on Hampton Mansion
(Hampton Mansion, ancestral home of the Ridgely family, is...)
Hampton Mansion, ancestral home of the Ridgely family, is the highlight of Hampton National Historic Site in Towson, Maryland. The Mansion, a magnificent example of Georgian architecture, inspired the creation of the National Trust for Historic Preservation over 50 years ago. Renowned architectural historian Charles E. Peterson began a detailed study of the Mansion and its dependencies in 1949. Only one hundred typescript copies of Peterson's research notes on Hampton were produced by the National Park Service in 1970. Now, after three decades, the University of Maryland presents a new and enhanced version of Notes on Hampton Mansion, including: -more than seventy illustrations documenting the Mansion and grounds; -expanded and updated references by R. Kent Lancaster, Professor of History Emeritus, Goucher College; and Lynne Dakin Hastings, Curator of Hampton; -a new introduction by Lynne Hastings, offering an in-depth exploration of the research that has proceeded from Peterson's study. -a glossary of terms describing 19th-century household effects in the 1829 estate inventory of Charles Carnan Ridgely. A must for the bookshelves of preservationists, architectural historians, and those interested in Maryland history and country life from the 19th to the 20th centuries.
