EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, titled "Hampton: John Ridgely house, Hampton Lane, Towson, Md. c1915," captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of the Hampton Mansion, a historic estate located in Towson, Maryland. The mansion, built between 1783 and 1790, is an exceptional example of Georgian architecture and was once the largest private home in America. Designed by Captain Charles Ridgely and Jehu Hall, architect and master carpenter, the Hampton Mansion was inspired by Castle Howard in North Yorkshire, England. The meticulously manicured landscape, featuring intricately designed boxwood parterres, adds to the estate's impressive charm. These parterres, which were originally designed by Charles Carnan Ridgely between 1795 and 1810, showcase the estate's commitment to horticultural excellence. The formal gardens, filled with lush greenery and vibrant colors, are a testament to the beauty of nature and the art of landscape gardening. This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1900s, is a precious piece of history. Hand-coloured and tinted, it offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when grand estates and formal gardens were the epitome of American heritage. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the rich cultural and architectural heritage that exists in the United States.
