Hammond Historic District

Hammond Historic District The Hammond Historic District of Hammond, Louisiana, is made up of 17 blocks and 95 buildings dating from 1880-1944 in varying styles.

The City of Hammond, Louisiana was chartered in 1889 and has enjoyed steady growth since that time. Many of the city's oldest buildings are located in the downtown area. Preservation of these historic areas is very important to the overall quality of life in Hammond, as the downtown provides a center to continually expanding boundaries while providing a visual link with the past, in addition to a

unique character that cannot be duplicated by new construction. The Historic District Commission is a seven member citizens' commission whose members have experience in history, design, or architecture. The Commission reviews plans for work within the historic district and sees that new proposals are consistent with the Historic and Architectural Design Guidelines. The Commission provides advice and consultation regarding renovation, restoration, and new signage.
