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.
