The Hammond House in Calvert, Texas is a two-story Gothic Revival-style building built in 1875. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. It is also included in the National Register-listed Calvert Historic District. The listing includes two contributing buildings.[1]
It was designed by St. Louis architect W.T. Ingraham[2] and has a crenellated parapet.[2]
It is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
It was built to serve as the county jail of Robertson County, Texas, but within three years, the county seat was moved to Franklin and a new jail was built there. The property was then purchased by Andrew Faulkner who converted it into a hotel. The building was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey. A set of measured drawings was prepared.[3]
