'Whitehern' Memorial To Gracious Age
'No house so worthy of preservation'

By Ray Blair
For years, people have walked along Jackson and MacNab Streets in downtown Hamilton and wondered about the stately stone home that stood at the corner. Surrounded by a high wall on two sides, a low wall on the front, and set amidst beautiful and ornamental gardens, it has intrigued many who wondered what it was like inside.
Soon, the citizens of Hamilton will be able to inspect the interior; the antique-filled room, its walls lined with steel engravings, painting and photographs, its outstanding collection of books and bric-a-brac -- all immensely valuable.
Whitehern -- the McQuesten residence -- has been given to the citizens of this city for public inspection as a period piece of the architecture of a century ago. More precisely, the McQuesten family has given it to the Hamilton Parks Board to control and maintain.

The house was erected by Richard Oliver Duggan shortly after he acquired the property in 1843. But he never lived in it and the house was sold in 1852 to Calvin McQuesten, M.D., for 800 pounds. It had been built for $10,000 at a time when labor was 50 cents a day.
