For this City of Hamilton owned heritage site, City Council has authorized and directed City staff to explore the opportunity of securing a long-term lease, or operating and management agreement with an interested not-for-profit organization or similar body that will need to include:
- Restoration, capital repairs and ongoing maintenance of Auchmar Estates by the organization;
- Provide reasonable on-going public access to the buildings and grounds; and
- Preserve the heritage of the estate and align with the provisions contained in the Heritage Conservation Easement as they relate to the Auchmar Estate.
Heritage description
The City of Hamilton has chosen, at this time, to maintain ownership of Auchmar Estates and to have it remain within the public domain; and recognizes that its Heritage interests in the real property could be best leveraged for broader public benefit through strategic alignment with a not-for-profit organization or similar body towards the restoration, operation and management through either a long-term lease or operating and management agreement.
The estate is a property of significant cultural heritage value derived from its historical associations with Isaac Buchanan and his development of the site as a "gentleman's" country estate set on the Niagara Escarpment. The circa 1855 estate now comprises a manor house in the Gothic Revival style, a carriage house, high garden walls with two arched passage ways, a square two-storey dovecote and extensive grounds. An extensive addition was constructed in 1963 and comprises a two-storey building accommodating a 50-room dormitory and a place of worship. A limited number of parking spaces are now provided within the property that can accommodate approximately 25 vehicles.
The property is recognized both locally and provincially, and designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. The property is subject to a Heritage Conservation Easement and held by the Ontario Heritage Trust any anticipated adaptive re-uses of the buildings and grounds are subject to the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act and terms of the Ontario Heritage Trust easement respectively.
