Take a walk and explore the back streets of St.Andrews… While taking in the beautiful homes, churches and tree lined streets, see if you can find The Harris Hatch. The Harris Hatch is a beautiful example of the Neo-Classical style of architecture of the time. Mr. Harris Hatch II obtained the land for this home in 1847. He was the grandson of loyalist Col. Christopher Hatch, an officer in the British Service during the American Revolution. Today, it is a private home with an Air B&B attached in the back buildings.
