Paddy Walker House, Heritage centre in Kincardine, Canada.

The Paddy Walker House is Kincardine's oldest building and the oldest standing hotel in Bruce County, Ontario. Francis "Paddy" Walker built it as a hotel near the mouth of the Penetangore River after crossing frozen Lake Huron from Goderich in 1850 with his wife Jane and seven sons. It now serves as a heritage centre with exhibits on local history.

A settler named Francis Walker built the house in 1850 and made it the first hotel in the region after traveling across the frozen Lake Huron with his family. The building later became a center preserving the story of early settlement in the area.

The building's name comes from Francis "Paddy" Walker, the settler who crossed frozen Lake Huron from Goderich with his wife Jane and seven sons in 1850. It served as a hotel under Walker and his descendants until 1942, when Marie and Al Gairns bought it. The Paddy Walker Heritage Society, formed after a 1995 fire, now runs it as a heritage centre with exhibits and events on local history.

The Walker House stands near the mouth of the Penetangore River, where Paddy Walker built his hotel after crossing frozen Lake Huron in 1850. It is closed during the winter months and open in summer, when Kincardine's tourism season runs. The building serves as a heritage centre with exhibits, programmes and events, and the Paddy Walker Heritage Society also uses it as a meeting room.

Marie Gairns was rescued from the 1995 fire in her chair by local firefighters. The building then sat untouched for three years before the Paddy Walker Heritage Society bought it in 1998. Restoration finished in 2008, in time for the Kincardine Old Boys Reunion.
