Beaumont House in Flat Rock May Be tied to Brookland design
Historian suggests Beaumont also known as the Johnstone-Hayne House may share a designer with Flat Rock’s Brookland house, possibly Charles Edmondston, and notes Johnstone’s 1839 purchase, Civil War era death, and later Olmsted-ground redesigns by Richard Sharp Smith. The 7052- square-foot estate sits on 4.76 acres with a $996,500 tax value and faces a Dec. 12 landmark hearing.
