Summary edit

Description
English: A property at James and Merrick Streets was purchased in 1835 and the first foundry in Hamilton was built on the site and became known as McQuesten & Co. with the first owner being Dr. Calvin McQuesten. The original building was 18 x 24 feet and the source of power for the operation was horse-power in the basement which powered the bellows that created the molten metal. This first foundry building burned down in 1855 and the foundry re-located to the foot of Wellington Street.
