Paddy Walker House, Heritage centre in Kincardine, Canada.
The Paddy Walker House stands on the shores of Lake Huron as a wooden structure featuring traditional Ontario architectural elements from the 1850s.
Francis Walker constructed this building in 1850 after crossing the frozen Lake Huron with his family to establish the first hotel in Bruce County.
The heritage centre contains exhibits and artifacts that document the maritime trade, early settlement patterns, and development of Kincardine's harbor community.
Located near the Penetangore River mouth, the heritage centre opens Tuesday through Sunday with guided tours available during summer months.
The building survived a severe fire in 1995 and underwent a ten-year restoration process led by local volunteers before reopening as a museum in 2008.
