DESCRIPTION:To make sure the time\, location\, and other aspects have not c

 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=9980\n\nJoin local historian Jo
 hn H. Sprinkle Jr.\, PhD\, for an animated discussion on the Hampton Mansi
 on and the establishment of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.\
 n \nLocated outside Baltimore\, Hampton was the late eighteenth-century ho
 me of Maryland's Ridgely family.   In addition to its association with the
  establishment of the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, one of it
 s claims to fame is that Hampton was the first property federally designat
 ed as nationally significant only for its architectural qualities.  The st
 ory of Hampton's recognition involves the collaboration of Fiske Kimball a
 nd David Finley\, who believed that part of their mission as museum curato
 rs was to expand the patriotic goals of the historic preservation movement
  to include the official and academic recognition of the intrinsic value o
 f American architecture as beautiful works of art.  Their work to identify
 \, evaluate\, and collect a representative sample of American art parallel
 ed the National Park Service's mandate (beginning in 1935) to inventory\, 
 document\, and recognize a comprehensive register of nationally significan
 t historic places.\n \nAs a historic property with no association with imp
 ortant events or individuals\, the designation of Hampton in 1948 can be v
 iewed as the administrative foundation of Criterion C of the National Regi
 ster of Historic Places.   This criterion is the most commonly listed amon
 g the National Register Criteria--more than 50 percent of listings referen
 ce a property's architectural significance.  Hampton's designation and the
  bureaucratic recognition of architectural significance absent historical 
 associations are important for understanding the foundations of architectu
 ral history's role within historic preservation.   \n \nDr. Sprinkle serve
 s as a historian with the National Park Service in Washington\, DC.  This 
 presentation is based on Crafting Preservation Criteria: The National Regi
 ster of Historic Places and Historic Preservation published in 2014 by Rou
 tledge.\n \nThe Morrison House Presents\, a salon-styled discussion series
 \, is sponsored by the Alexandria Archaeological Commission\, The Torpedo 
 Factory Art Center\, and the Morrison House Hotel.\n\n\nLocation: Morrison
