Considered Notable to the City and classified as a Category 2 property, the Thomas Hamlin House, circa 1828, is an Antebellum home built in the Greek Revival style. This unique 3 story home, according to John Poston's The Buildings of Charleston, holds the distinction of being the first house built on Gadsden Street above Wentworth. It is believed to have served as a summer residence for the Hamlin family. When built, the home enjoyed unobstructed views of the Ashley River, a vantage that likely inspired its Lowcountry plantation-influenced details, including the grand front piazza which is ideal for Charleston entertaining and a gable roof with three dormers. The home has been lovingly restored, with interiors done by former owners of the property, designers Athalie Derse and AmeliaHandegan, and gardens by landscape architect Glen Gardner.
