Statement of Significance
SIGNIFICANCE: good example of its type
Kameruka
12 McIntyre Street
This house has local significance for its architectural interest as a good but very late example of a residence in the Italianate style, common in the Victorian period. It may have been designed by the local architect, engineer and town clerk Frank Hammond who was responsible for several houses about this time. It is of historical significance for its association with Robert Harkness, an early Hamilton ironmonger, for whom it was built in 1900. ([1]) Two years later Harkness acquired the house next door at 16 McIntyre Street, letting it to Robert George, a tailor. ([2]) He also owned the land next door at 14 McIntyre Street, which he sold to Alfred McKenzie, bank manager, in 1908. ([3]) McKenzie's residence was built in 1908 and is more advanced architecturally. ([4]) The building is reasonably intact and is excellent condition. The garden appears to date from the 1950s.
