14 | 1890s rowhomes set to demolish
At Millbank Circle, the oldest upper-class district in Hamilton which it was developed in 1890. Hamilton City Council is now considering to demolish entire Millbank Circle, the beautiful old "town" into a modern highrise mecca. Over 40,000 people have signed the petition to stop this development movement. You can too! "The old homes, which it was built in the 19th Century at the oldest district of Hamilton is set to demolish, what is going on?" the local of Warrawyte told hamiltonnow.
The house at this address, Number 18 Millbank Circle, West Hamilton was the mayor residence for over 200 years until the recent mayor have decided to build himself a new modern house at Gavett Hill, 12 kilometre east from the CBD. That house was sold for $14.6 million dollars, because it was built in 1864 specifically for the Governor of Hamilton, then the generations passed down as a residence for the city mayor. The City Council urged to announce to the city that Millbank Circle itself will be saved however the houses and rowhomes dating back from 1890s will be, sadly, demolished to allow the development of modern highrises along the Circle.
