Two Hammond Houses in North Augusta on West Martintown Road
Two historic Hammond family homes stand on West Martintown Road in North Augusta. The J. S. Hammond house at 470 West Martintown dates to the early 1800s with Sand Hills Cottage architecture on solid brick walls. The Charles Hammond House, farther out, contains at least three Revolutionary War era rooms, with major construction by Charles Goodwin Hammond around 1820, a Hamburg riverport merchant. The estate once featured a formal front garden by an English landscape gardener, studied by landscape experts into the 1930s.
