Morton House, 20 Spring Street, c. 1836-38
When the Winthrop Street Historic District in Augusta was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 2001, the Morton House at 20 Spring Street was inadvertently omitted. The Morton House, was built c. 1836-38 by Charles H. Hamlen, and was part of the Henry W. Fulller tract that was developed between State and North Chestnut Streets. The Morton House retains a high degree of integrity of setting, location, design, association, and feeling, and a substantial degree of materials and workmanship, qualifies under Criterion C as a relatively late example of Federal period residential architecture, and under Criterion A, for its association with the residential building boom that occurred between 1830 and 1851.
