Hammond Residence (Bordentown, NJ)

Hammond Residence (Bordentown, NJ)

The estate was originally built in 1850 and was known as Point Breeze or Bonaparte Park (Napolean Bonaparte’s brother Count de Survilliers once owned it). Harris Hammon, son of the American Mining Engineer John Hays Hammond, commissioned Wyeth & King to remodel the house in the 1920s. The top story of the tower was removed, the detailing replaced, and a new wing was built. The Italianate mansion was converted into an English Georgian Country Seat.
