Bingo! It's the Pigott Building.

Clue #1: Million Dollar Baby It cost $1M to build in 1928-29

Clue #2: Something in common with the Ontario 'Age of Majority' It's 18 floors, which is the age of majority in Ontario. I know I thought it would different like 19, but apparently it's 18. I went with a Fed government webpage, http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/canada-...ajorite-en.asp

Clue #3: Was the first 'one' in Hamilton It was Hamilton's first skyscraper.

Way to go Emge.

Well since you won that round Emge, it's your turn to do the next one if you wish.

Way to go Matt.

I was looking at their menu. Holy shit, $500 for one bottle of wine. Just a bit out of my price range.

Your turn to do one less you wish to pass.

I was there once many years ago. Luckily it was the other person that paid.

Ok this one may be easy, I've tried to make the clues pretty subtle but the location isn't nearly as subtle.

Clue 1: A boy named Alfie Richards gave me my name.
