My Favourite Hamilton Houses (UPDATED)
** Page 2 has more!!! **
*** Page 3 has even more!!! ***
In no particular order, my personal favourites in Hamilton.
They aren't necessarily the biggest, fanciest, most significant or anything else,
just the ones that I find interesting.
Auchmar, an 1854 Gothic Villa
A cool modern house
A couple with French character, little and big
Dundurn Castle (1835) has to be on this list
Prairie styling
A cute Bed & Breakfast near the Bayfront
The location makes these three houses attractive, they're right on the beach, the Lake Ontario side.
Cute Queen Anne
Gingerbread house
I'd love to have a porch like this
I love this tall thin house, an exemplary Victorian townhouse
A Massive Queen Anne, complete with rounded veranda
I love Victorians decorated with shingles
This one looks like doll house, and has a huge lot in the middle of the city at the base of the Escarpment.
Another great setting, on the mountain brow overlooking downtown Hamilton.
This is a beautiful estate, but difficult to get a good view.
You can see it at the upper left in this photo:
There are also some very old walled properties in Dundas and Ancaster, circa 1840s:
Great Chateauesque tower on James South
I've always liked this cute little Italianate home, totally out of scale with its apartment neighbours
You don't often see these in Canada west of Montreal
Burlington Terrace, 1850s
Sandyford Place, 1858
A couple Neo Classical stone houses
Whitehern, 1850
Bank of Montreal House, 1911
Another house that's difficult to photograph, Inglewood, a Gothic Villa c. 1850
This mansion has classic looks, but the details on this one make it stand out from the crowd
These Queen Anne/Romanesque houses are solid enough to survive any disaster
Wood-Dale, an elegant regency cottage built in 1846
Incredibly detailed masonry
A couple Italiante homes of exceptional quality
Ballahinich, 1853
I love the entire Stinson neighbourhood, but these are my favourites there
Fearman House, 1863, situated perfectly at the end of a street of elegant upper middle class Victorian housing
A simple old house that belongs in the Northeastern United States
This one is unique because of the bay windows on the dormers
A very high quality Second Empire terrace, too bad half of it was chopped off to build a crappy apartment building.
Ravenscliffe, the street circles completely around this property. The house has multiple towers and is amazing from every direction
The decorative arches over the windows are made of iron
Beautiful rowhouse, I hope the wooden details are still intact under the aluminum siding on the two rightmost units
A few with English character, there are tons of beautiful Tudor Revival and English Cottage Style homes in Hamilton.
 
 
Killer row of houses on Cannon
Another of my favourite rows
Cute Little houses in Beasley
As many of you know, I have a soft spot for stone houses
I like this colourful row, there is another exactly the same on the other side of the street, but down a bit.
A beautiful Corktown terrace, reminds me of Cabbagetown in Toronto
Beautiful gardens in front of these Corktown doubles
These Corktown cottages display more beautiful gardens
This 1895 Romanesque castle occupies a prominent site on King St. West
Another Romanesque mansion
A solid doulbe house
Tiny rowhouses
A nice Italianate
Ballindalloch, a perfect example of Italianate from the 1860s
I'd take a second level balcony like this.
Massive low-slung bungalow
A lonely townhouse
I've always liked the way thses Italianate houses compliment each other
I've always loved this 1840s cottage, known has Kirkhill, and its large property
Awesome third floor balcony
A stately pair
This is a cute little Second Empire row
Great pointy windows
A cute little cottage
Foxbar, I often see movies being filmed at this house
I used to live near this house perched up on a hill in Dundas
An elegant Georgian row in Dundas
Gothic Revival again
Erland Lee House, oringinal structure built in 1808 and extensively remodeled to its current form in 1873. Check out the upper floor windows.
