“Asa Hammond house – Wapping Road. Asa in foreground,” no date<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Asa Cook Hammond (1826-1913) was a carpenter or housewright, \u00a0who was\u00a0born\u00a0Pembroke, but lived in Kingston from around\u00a01850 until his death. \u00a0He married Amanda Clark, a dressmaker from Plympton in 1849; they had several children. \u00a0Both are\u00a0buried in the Evergreen Cemetery.<\/p>\n

Asa is identified as the figure in the foreground of the photograph but the woman and two boys are not, though it seems likely they are Asa’s wife and children.<\/p>\n

The Hammond’s house,\u00a0built in the Queen Anne style with an unusual center hall plan and set perpendicular to the road,\u00a0still stands at 40 Wapping Road.<\/p>\n
