Time For Something New
 

Each day for the next 5 days I will post a new clue. The idea is to guess what building I am thinking of. It is a popular building.

What building am I?

Clue one:
I was opened for business on May 5th 1913.

I'd say the Library on Main Street West...they moved out of there old building and Hamilton's first Art Gallery occupied it after that.

Clue 2:
I am a 2 floor building.

Bank of Montreal building?

No. :)

Missed this post yesterday, sorry about that. :)

Clue 3:
I am located on Main St. W.

uuummmmmm. Wesdale Secondary?

I think IronWarrior got it right, as the Carnegie Library.

I should have played this a bit differently. IronWarrior already guessed it.

Anyone else want to try it doing it the right way? Keep answers quiet till the end. Or pm them to the person what your guess is.

It was the library.

I was trying to post this before FairHamilton posted, but this @$@#$ computer froze on me.

Dam I was going to say the Woolworth building but that opened 9 days before May 5th.

Iron Warrior got it after the first post. Don't use dates, as a quick Google search with the date and 'Hamilton' will usually find the building.

Here's one from me.

I'm like a "Diamond in the rough".

Yea I kind of goofed on that. :rollseyes:
Brain needs dusting. :)

Is it located downtown?

is it Ivor Wynn Stadium?

The entire city of Hamilton? :haha:

Nope, and nope (but funny).

Clue #1: I'm like a "Diamond in the rough".

Clue #2: Products once made here, were "to die for".

No guesses today, so here's another one.

Clue #1: I'm like a "Diamond in the rough".

Clue #2: Products once made here, were "to die for".

Clue #3: Try to think, "outside of the box"

I'll be back in the morning with another perhaps easier clue. But, I'm going to make you work for the answer. I'm not going to give it way :)

studebaker cars?

Great guess, and I can see that guess from the clues so far. But nope. Try again.

Hamilton Cemetery

Nope.

Is anyone besides MSME even playing??

Clue #1: I'm like a "Diamond in the rough".

Clue #2: Products once made here, were "to die for".

Clue #3: Try to think, "outside of the box"

Going more obvious now.

Clue #4: If you drop by my location we'll call it "even steven"

I was going to guess Consumers/Dominion Glass but I don't think it fits the clues too well.

You are right, they don't fit. Anyone else care to hazard a guess?

If no one gets it, I'll be back this afternoon with another clue.

I'm lurking, but completely clueless.:(

The Pearl Company on Steven Street that is now an arts and performance facility. It used to be the Evel Casket Company.

Clue #1: I'm like a "Diamond in the rough".

Clue #2: Products once made here, were "to die for".

Clue #3: Try to think, "outside of the box"

Clue #4: If you drop by my location we'll call it "even steven"

I don't know certain areas of the city even though I have lived here my whole life. So if LikeHamilton is correct, I never even heard of that place. :(
So I wouldn't have gotten it.

Yea, we have a winner!!! Yes, it's the Pearl Company, so named because of the pearls between the floor boards (plastic pearls, as it was once a costume jewelry factory). CBC's program GO recorded a show there a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately I learned of it too late and the tickets were already sold out.

Clue #1 - I was thinking jewelry - Costume Jewelry Factory. Mentioning Pearls would have been a dead giveaway.

Clue #2 - I was thinking of the Evel Casket factory

Clue #3 - I was thinking of the time it was a box factory, but it could have also meant a 'pine box'

Clue #4 - It's located at an even number on Steven Street, 16 Steven.

Good work LikeHamilton, and MsMe I'm glad you learned something new about Hamilton. That's great!!

I don't even know where Steven St. is. I never knew about that part of the city at all.

How about the winner chooses next place?

It was on at the same time as the City Hall rally, so just as well. ;)

Could have done both. It's live on the east coast, but on tape delay here.

We've been twice before and it's weird watching and listening to the show, then getting in your car and listening to the end over again :)

Sounds good to me. LikeHamilton you are up, unless you want to step aside.

I will have to pass at this time as I am very busy right now. Should not even be reading any of this..........BUT I JUST CAN"T HELP MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!
:eeekk:

I'll take another go then.


Clue 1
It moved up and down.

The defunct incline railway?

Damn you are too good for me. ;)

I'm surprised you got it so fast.

I was downtown yesterday and saw it somewhere (a picture/painting) so it was on the top of my mind.
