About 189 Melville St
Step into history with this charming home in Old Dundas, a property with roots dating back to 1842. The original tax roll entry intriguingly notes "A man, his wife, three children, and a cow," and among those children was Robert McKechnie Jr. Robert began his career as an apprentice at Gartshore Foundries on Hatt St., which later became Valley City Manufacturing. His partnership with John Bertram led to the establishment of Canada Tool Works in 1863. McKechnie later transitioned to a notable political career, serving as Reeve four times and Mayor twice, while Bertram went on to found Bertram and Sons. Originally known as Mountain St., this historic home is captured in an iconic 1852 print of the town, a cherished copy of which adorns the walls of the home. Constructed from hand-hewn posts and beams, and locally sawn joists, the house showcases the craftsmanship of its time, with sawmill power sourced from nearby escarpment waterfalls and creeks. In 2007, the home underwent a comprehensive renovation by a yacht builder, seamlessly blending historical charm with modern comfort. Every detail was thoughtfully updated, including new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. The layout was redesigned for optimal flow and aesthetics, and the bathroom boasts Italian marble for a touch of luxury. Period trim was crafted from reclaimed red pine, preserving the home's historical essence. The exterior was elegantly enhanced with a new deep veranda, a gracefully curved oval foyer, French doors, and a skylight that floods the foyer with natural light. The stone cellar was expanded and finished with fresh flooring, cabinetry, and a convenient two-piece bathroom. Additionally, new limestone walls were built from stone excavated on the property, enhancing the front stone wall, garden shed, and cellar. The lush, private rear yard, enclosed by 14-foot cedar hedges, offers a serene retreat. Conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Dundas's shopping, dining, and recreational facilities, and nestled in the picturesque Dundas Valley, the home is also close to Spencer Creek Gorge and its scenic waterfalls. In 2024, the City of Hamilton’s Heritage department designated Melville St. as a historical zone to safeguard the neighborhood's character from inappropriate development. This unique property at 189 Melville is truly a special home, blending rich history with contemporary updates.
