Auchmar is an historic site and one-time Estate of Isaac Buchanan, who founded both the Hamilton and Toronto Board of Trades.
Auchmar, the fabled estate of the Honourable Isaac Buchanan, one of Hamilton's most influential citizens, was built between 1852 and 1854 on a private estate on 86 acres on the Hamilton mountain that he called Clairmont Park. Located at what is now the corner of Fennell Avenue and West 5th, the manor house, and its intact outbuildings, and stone wall-surrounded orchard sit on 10 acres of land that include the original landscaped grounds. Auchmar is a unique, heritage asset owned by the citizens of Hamilton. Auchmar is recognized by the Ontario Heritage Trust as having significant historical value.[1] Isaac Buchanan, was an international merchant, first president of the Hamilton Club, founder of Hamilton and Toronto boards of trade - forerunners to modern chambers of commerce - and founder of the regiment that would later become the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry.[2]
