Auchmar Estate is a nineteenth century gothic revival architectural style manor that stands as one of Hamilton Ontario's historic masterpieces. First construction commenced in 1854 and was home to the Honourable Isaac Buchanan, a notable member of Parliament that served over two decades for Canada. The name Auchmar was derived from Buchanan's aristocrat family owned estate in Scotland. This estate has a long history of many owners and residents after Buchanan's passing in 1883. Notably, in 1943 the Royal Canadian Air Force rented the manor and converted the estate to a hospital for WWII veterans.
The mansion has sat abandoned for decades and is maintained by the city, fortunately I was given permission to explore it!
