Doors Open Hamilton, a local event aimed at promoting the city's architecture at some 38 venues, happens May 6 and 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The chair of Doors Open Hamilton hopes the 2023 edition of the event will spur on the preservation of several historic Hamilton buildings still in “good shape” and “perfect for restoration.”
Committee member Shannon Kyles suggests businesses and organizations stepping up recently to save old buildings they reside in have preserved neighbourhoods and communities the exploration group will earmark in future affairs.
“Large malls are fantastic, but you want to have those little strips of old places that are all sort of thriving in the middle of a city, don’t you?” Kyles told 900 CHML’s Good Morning Hamilton.
Some 38 local buildings and seven guided tours are on tap for the latest Doors Open event, led by local historians Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
Private entrepreneurs who’ve put their own time, effort and money into restorations and opened as restaurants, grocery stores and other food-related entities are of particular focus for the May agenda.
Brewers Blackbird Kitchen and Brewery in Ancaster (Rousseau House), Collective Arts Brewery on Burlington Street and the Dundas Eateries Tour are just a small sample of some destinations on the weekend tour schedule.
Picone’s Food Market is one of Kyles’ favourites on the Dundas tour, revealing it still operates in the same location today, 34 King St. W., as it did when it opened in 1915.
“It’s got the most incredible food and they’ve redone the storefront,” she said.
