Auchmar, Gothic Revival estate in Hamilton, Canada
The two-story brick manor at 88 Fennell Avenue West features stuccoed walls, vaulted corridors, and decorative plaster ceilings within its four-hectare grounds.
Isaac Buchanan, a merchant and politician, built this residence in 1855 and later served in the Parliament of the United Province of Canada from 1841 to 1865.
The estate hosted Black Canadian Emancipation Day celebrations starting in 1859, demonstrating the owner's support for social progress and community gatherings.
The Friends of Auchmar organization conducts regular public events and guided tours, allowing visitors to explore the preserved architectural elements of this heritage property.
During World War II, the manor transformed into a convalescent facility for Royal Canadian Air Force members, adding a military chapter to its residential history.
