Hunter Street (Hamilton, Ontario)

Hunter Street is a Lower City collector road in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Hunter Street is named after Peter Hunter Hamilton (1800–1857), landowner and businessman and half brother of city founder George Hamilton.

[2] Central Public School building on Hunter Street West was built in 1853.

The building's original final proportioned classical design, by the firm Cumberland & Ridout, was extensively remodelled in 1890 by the Hamilton architect, James Balfour.

His alterations, including a steeply pitched roof, certain round arched windows and a heightened central tower, created an edifice in conformity with the late Victorian tastes.
