Whitehern’s Garden and Stable
41 Jackson St. W. Hamilton
Whitehern’s historic mansion, garden and stable is one of Hamilton’s hidden treasures.
It is nestled within a walled terraced garden behind city hall and provides an intimate
setting for family and friends to celebrate the marriage ritual. Whitehern’s splendid
gardens give couples a romantic stage for exchanging their solemn vows. The restored
coach house provides a window back to the era of horse and carriage. Your wedding
will become part of the storied memories and remembrances that has become Whitehern.
This national historic site was the former home of three generations of the McQuesten
Family (1852-1968) of Hamilton, Ontario. It is an outstanding example of an urban
estate originally owned by a wealthy industrialist. The house today has a multi-layered
character that reflects the alterations made by three generations of the McQuestens
over the years as well as the family's shared interest in literature, history and
gardening. It contains elements from many time periods - Georgian, Victorian and
Edwardian - all overlaid with family possessions dating up to 1939 when the Honourable
Thomas B. McQuesten was Minister of Highways.
