Welcome . . . .
Heritage
House 1914 was built in 1914 and is called an Edwardian Square. We are
situated on a beautiful treed boulevard and are located in the centre
of downtown Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, in the Heritage Conservation
area of Hamilton. It is surmised that the original landscaping on the
boulevard was restricted to grass cover and that trees were planted
at a later date probably in the 1920s when a significant number of houses
had been built. This conjecture is supported by the age of the oldest
trees on St. Clair Boulevard. The largest Norway Maples on the centre
stip are estimated to be about 70 years old. During the 70s, open flower
beds were maintained but have since been replaced with shrub beds. It
is known that St Clair Boulevard once featured the original street lamps
made of cast iron poles and had round cluster globes. These gas lamps
were located in a single row down the centre of the middle strip. These
were removed in the 50s. In the recent past the residents of St Clair
have had two of these old lamps donated to them by the Hamilton Gas
company and we have had them converted to electricity and replaced back
in the Boulevard, (one at each end of the centre strip).
Furnished with antiques, this home is a refuge
from the busy activities which take place throughout the city. It offers
a peace and tranqility that make it difficult for one to imagine they
are only minutes from the city centre.
We invite you to visit with us in Hamilton. Explore its
history, enjoy the concerts at Copps Colliseum, meet the people. Dine
at some of the finest restaurants. Whatever your pleasure, I am sure
that you will leave Hamilton feeling a little richer for the experience
of having visited our city and meeting the people who call Hamilton
their home.
