Gov. Hamilton House welcomes winter

WINTER WONDERLAND

The stately Gov. Hamilton Oak Hill residence braves an icy winter, while a local child and a trusty cat explore the snow-covered roadway nearby, in this undated image, circa 1935 or earlier. Once labeled as Duhurst Park, the home and its surrounding area at 821 The Terrace later became known as Oak Hill. But around Hagerstown, it’s often simply referred to as the Hamilton House, because it had once belonged to William T. Hamilton, Maryland’s 38th governor.
