Hamoaze House
Hamoaze House is a substantial building at Devonport, Plymouth. It is a Grade II Listed Building.[1]
History
The house was built for Charles Lennox, 3rd Duke of Richmond in 1795 and served as the home of the Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth from 1809 until 1934 when that officer moved to Government House. It is named after the Hamoaze which is the tidal estuary of the River Tamar.[2] It became the home of the General Officer Commanding the Plymouth Division of the Royal Marines later in 1934.[3] Plymouth Development Corporation marketed the building and arranged its sale to a charitable trust in 1998[4] and it has since become a centre for drug and alcohol rehabilitation.[5]
