McGregor-Thompson House
(c.1850) 41 Bay Street
This house is believed to have been built around 1850 by Alexander M. McGregor. His wife, Elizabeth, taught local children in the house, which served informally as the first school in Port Credit. The house was purchased in 1882 by Joseph and Victoria Thompson, who are noted to have remodeled the home in 1900. Their daughter, Etta Pearson, later inherited the property and wrote an account of its
history based on stories from her mother and her great-grandmother, Elizabeth McGregor, which were collected in Ida Lynd Bradley’s 1966 scrapbook, “Some Early Families of Port Credit.”

Kivell House
(1902) 42 Bay Street
William John Kivell, son of John and Mary Kivell, purchased this property in 1901, and it is believed that he built the house the following year using bricks from the nearby Port Credit brickyard. Like his father, William was a mariner and labourer by trade. The house was in the Kivell family for over a century, and remains a private family home today.

Wilcox Inn
(c. 1850) 32 Front Street S.
In 1850, Captain James Wilcox built this Georgian Survival home. He operated it first as an inn, intended as a haven for weary sailors and harbour workers, for three years. Sometime before 1855, he returned to his former employ as a Lake Captain, engaging in all kinds of lake trade, including stonehooking, commercial fishing, lumbering, and transporting all sorts of goods between Hamilton, Port Credit and Toronto. Over the years, the Wilcox Inn served a variety of purposes. By 1888 however, it was used as a community hall for social gatherings. In 1891, the inn was renovated and used for church services. Later, the old inn became the meeting hall for the first Peel Temperance Society, under the direction of Captain John Miller. Today It is a private family residence.
