EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hampton: John Ridgely house, Hampton Lane, Towson, Maryland, c1915," showcases the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of the Hampton Mansion. The estate, designed by Captain Charles Ridgely and Jehu Hall between 1783 and 1790, was once the largest private home in America and an outstanding example of Georgian architecture. Inspired by Castle Howard in North Yorkshire, England, the mansion boasts intricate details and grandeur that reflect its noble heritage. The landscape of Hampton is equally impressive, with meticulously designed boxwood parterres that were originally conceived by Charles Carnon Ridgely between 1795 and 1810. The formal gardens, featuring hand-tinted and hand-coloured elements, showcase the elegance and sophistication of the era. The Hampton Mansion, built between 1783 and 1790, is a testament to the rich history of America's architectural heritage.

The image, created by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, is a valuable addition to any collection of American heritage art and gardening enthusiasts.
