Summary
Significance: Estate Hammer Farm is recorded as early as the 1720s. It was under cultivation before 1733. Its sugar factory site predates 1780. The windmill was constructed sometime between 1800 and 1833, probably about 1820, by an unknown builder. The mill's unusual feature, the vaulted basement story, has parallels in the mills of Diamond Keturah & Two Brothers, both of St. Croix.
