Queen Street, Hamilton, Ontario

With the turn of the 20th century, luxurious new residences were built along Markland and Aberdeen Avenues and to the south in the lee of the escarpment.

These residences reflected the entrepreneurial spirit of those who made their fortunes in transportation, finance, industry, and commerce in one of North Americas major centres, Hamilton.

Today the property is the site of two high-rise apartment buildings, Queen's Terrace and Oxford Heights.

Tuckett's home was the Scottish Rite Castle, also on Queen Street, remains as one of Hamilton's most magnificent structures.

The trail cuts through the city along the Niagara Escarpment (mountain) and used by many locals for a full days hike.

The Trail is 430 miles (690 km) long and starts at Niagara Falls, passes through Hamilton and ends at the Bruce Peninsula.
