Fennell Avenue, is an Upper City (mountain) arterial road in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It starts off just West Garth Street on the West mountain and is a two-way street throughout that extends eastward and ends at Mountain Brow Boulevard, a road that wraps around the edge of the Niagara Escarpment on Hamilton mountain. ==History== ''Fennell Avenue'', is most likely named after Joseph Fennell, (1835–1919), Anglican priest. Early maps and directories listed the street as Fenel, Fennel and then finally, Fennell. Auchmar, the fabled estate of the Honourable Isaac Buchanan, one of Hamilton's most influential citizens, was built between 1852 and 1854 on a private estate on on the Hamilton mountain that he called ''Clairmont Park''. Located at what is now the corner of ''Fennell'' and West 5th, the manor house, and its intact outbuildings, and stone wall-surrounded orchard sit on of land that include the original landscaped grounds. Auchmar is a unique, heritage asset owned by the citizens of Hamilton. Auchmar is recognized by the Ontario Heritage Trust as having significant historical value.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.heritagewatchhamilton.ca/ )〕 Isaac Buchanan, was an international merchant, first president of the Hamilton Club, founder of Hamilton and Toronto boards of trade - forerunners to modern chambers of commerce - and founder of the regiment that would later become the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry. In 1945, there was talk of constructing a tunnel on James Street South, in the Lower city to a surface point just south of Fennell Avenue. The cost was an issue but some city officials at the time felt it was necessary for the city to grow south, instead of their present unbalanced east-west development. The population of Hamilton Mountain at the time was 20,000 but some felt the numbers were actually larger because many tenants were not listed on voters' lists. On June 1, 1949 the city of Hamilton issued 61 building permits on ''East Twenty-Seventh'' and ''East Twenty-Eighth Streets'' between ''Queensdale'' and Fennell Avenues. At the time it was the largest number of building permits issued at one time in the city by the City's building department and was described as "the biggest unsubsidized housing scheme in Canada. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fennell Avenue (Hamilton, Ontario)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
