Boggan-Hammond House and Alexander Little Wing, Federal-style house in Wadesboro, United States.
The Boggan-Hammond House is a single-story frame building with Federal architectural features built in 1787, later expanded with a two-story wing added in 1839. The property displays two distinct construction periods repositioned in an unusual spatial arrangement.
Captain Patrick Boggan, a Revolutionary War veteran and one of the founders of Wadesboro, built the original one-story frame section about 1787 for his daughter Nellie. A two-story frame wing was added in 1839. In the 20th century the original house was separated from the wing and placed behind it; the buildings opened as house museums in 1970 and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
The house was built about 1787 by Captain Patrick Boggan, a Revolutionary War veteran, for his daughter Nellie; a two-story frame wing followed in 1839. The two parts were separated in the 20th century, and since 1970 the buildings have served as house museums. They are cared for by the Anson County Historical Society.
The two buildings stand on East Wade Street in the Wadesboro Downtown Historic District, with the original 1787 house set behind the 1839 wing after its 20th-century move. The Anson County Historical Society cares for the site and opened it as house museums in 1970. Look for the repositioned structures when approaching from the street.
During the 20th century, the original house structure was physically separated from its wing and repositioned behind it, creating an unusual architectural arrangement. This transformation shows how owners adapted historical buildings to changing needs.
