Significance/Context Remarks

The Hamer-Combs house provides a good example of a Greek Revival double pen house. Although somewhat compromised by an older rear addition, much of the visible portion of the house retains its original shape. The date of the addition remains uncertain but it does seem to appear on the 1956 aerial imagery.
