Hampton Terrace Destruction and Lost Plans for North Augusta Hotel
The 1917 destruction of North Augusta’s Hampton Terrace Hotel ended a symbol of the Winter Colony era. Plans for a Belvedere complex with gardens, golf, a polo field and aviation shifted after 1928, but the project stalled before the Great Depression. Historians note changing fortunes and seasons of the era as factors.
