Centrepiece of Clairmont Park, estate of Hon. Isaac Buchanan (1810–1883). “A rare example of a mid-Victorian estate in Ontario in relatively intact condition.” Defended by Friends of Auchmar, supported by ACO Hamilton.

15 June 2016: Mayor Fred Eisenberger was "spellbound" by Royal Hamilton Light Infantry, proposal to make its 3.8Ha grounds a public park and restore the building with "historical loyalty."

Proposed uses include a RHLI museum, conservation of the chapel, turning the coach house into a period brewpub and drop-in centre for members of the military and first responders.
