Is it a heritage property?

Not on the register. 255 Main St W, Hamilton is on Hamilton's heritage inventory only.

An inventory lists properties the city has identified as possibly of interest. Being on it alone doesn't list or designate a property. Source: City of Hamilton — Heritage Properties, as of October 12, 2026.
