This photograph, titled "Hampton, John Ridgely house, Hampton Lane, Towson, Maryland, ca.11915," is an exquisite representation of the Hampton Mansion, a historic estate nestled in Towson, Maryland. The image was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1900s. The Hampton Mansion, built between 1783 and 1790, is an architectural marvel inspired by Castle Howard in North Yorkshire, England. At the time of its completion, it was the largest private residence in America, showcasing the grandeur and opulence of Georgian architecture. The estate is renowned for its stunning design and is considered one of the finest examples of this architectural style in the United States. The house was designed by Captain Charles Ridgely and Jehu Hall, an architect and master carpenter.
