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.”

Blower House
(c. 1895) 58 Lake Street
This house was likely built in the early 1890s, but it may also be older. According to local histories, the home was built by Mark Blower, a sailor and stonehooker. Blower acquired the property in 1894. He was the eldest son of Thomas and Emily Blower. When Thomas passed away suddenly in 1870, Emily moved her nine children onto the family’s schooner, the Catherine Hays , and began transporting cordwood to Toronto and eventually entered into the stonehooking trade. Mark took over the family operation together with his brothers Thomas and Abraham, and soon after purchased this property on Lake Street and built this house for his family.

Abram Block Jr. House
(c. 1850) 42 Front Street S.
Although altered, this Ontario Cottage was the home of Abram Block Jr. and his wife Susannah. Block was a mariner and stonehooker captain of the Mary E. Ferguson. He also built and repaired boats with John Miller, who was the lighthouse keeper, in a workshop located in the Front Street road allowance near his house. He was also a school trustee for 42 years and was active in the Port Credit Methodist (later, First United) Church. Block acquired this property in 1882, and likely built this house shortly thereafter. The home remains a private family residence today.
