History
16
Possibly the largest private home in America by 1790, the Hampton mansion stands as a grand example of late-Georgian architecture in America. Hampton also reflects the lives 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.
