Come and have a remarkable coffee experience with excellent coffee and exceptional hospitality. The Relay Coffee Roasters on King William Street is an upbeat and casual café housed within a Victorian mixed-use building. The interior is made warmer with its exposed brick walls. The upper part of the building remains intact. Check out their other location at The Staircase Theatre.

This beautiful Georgian stone building was originally a private home for Walter Chisholm. Over the years, it has been owned by a succession of local families until it became a riding academy. It served as a riding academy until 1978, and now houses one of Dundas's fabulous potters. Most windows, doors, floors and details have been retained.

Built in 1890, St. Lawrence is designed in the Romanesque style. With its open plan, stained-glass windows, interior artwork, 1908 Casavant Frères pipe organ and 7.6-metre-high (25-foot) Carrera marble altar, St. Lawrence is a treasure in Hamilton’s north end. Join them as they celebrate their 133rd anniversary this year. Tea, coffee, juice and homemade sweets and snacks will be available.

St. Luke's parish began in 1882. The current building, from 1922, has served the community ever since. While the parish closed in 2017, it reopened in 2019 and is currently stewarded by the Community of Common Prayer, a bond of diverse Christian traditions tended by the Anglican Diocese of Niagara. The North End Breakfast Program is also run from here.

The Staircase Theatre has been a multi-purpose arts incubator for decades. Site of the former Hamilton Hydro Dundurn substation, the 1914 building combines large windows, decorative brick, a large overhanging cornice complete with dentil blocks, and an impressive beaux arts portico. Relay Coffee Roasters provides a friendly café atmosphere, and the various performing spaces house every type of entertainment.

The newly formed Hamilton Gas Light Company built a gasworks here in 1850. Over time, the light company relocated and the gasworks fell into disuse and disrepair. Today, thanks to the John and Ellie Voortman Charitable Foundation, The Gasworks is a vital community arts and education centre. Other tenants include RE-create, Chorus Hamilton, Sisters in Sync and Willowbridge Community Services.

Midway along the retail section of King Street West is the post office. Built in 1911 in the Romanesque revival style, it remained the regional post office until the 1990s. Cornerstones, balustrades and impressive stone arches provide a perfect backdrop for retail establishments such as The Village Bakery, which occupies the site today with its breads, quiches and pies.
