Visitors to the historic town of
Port Gamble are inundated with historical elements throughout the township. Almost every building in this town contains a historical marker that highlights the history of prior occupants. Each marker stands out nicely on painted burgundy boards and gold lettering. This historic former residence contains a marker on the front fence that reads:
1918-1919
Leo & Goldie Hammersmith House
Leo came to Pope & Talbot from the Hammersmith Mill in
Yelm, WA. Leo married Goldie on July 4th, 1915, which was
also Goldie's 18th birthday. Leo and Goldie had no children.
Leo retired as mill manager in 1958, moved to Portland
and passed away in 1961. |
I could find no other pertinent information regarding the history and background of this former residence. It is currently home to Olympic Property Group, who owns and manages the majority of residences and businesses in Port Gamble.
I DID manage to locate a PDF document of a walking tour of Port Gamble.
