SCHEDULE B
REASONS FOR DESIGNATION
The Walker House is considered the oldest building in KBT and indeed, the oldest
standing tavern of its style in Bruce and Grey Counties. The Walker House Hotel was
built in 1850 overlooking what was to become the harbour and the centre of intense
commercial activity. . This hotel provided accommodation to many of the innumerable
settlers who arrived to take up land in the Queen's Bush. This hotel became the
earliest centre for community political activity.
Paddy Walker was one of Kincardine's most important early citizens; he was an
entrepreneur, a tavern keeper, a contractor, a schooner operator and a politician. The
building remained in the hands of the Walker family until 1942. After it ceased to be a
commercial hotel, the Walker House served as a boarding house and, more recently,
a private residence.
Although severely damaged by fire on January 23, 1995, it is hoped that a restored
Walker House, as a companion to the lighthouse opposite, will become a self-
sustaining tourist attraction, the pride of Kincardine's heritage.
The frame hotel illustrates in its fagade, low-pitched gable roof and classically-derived
window, door and cornice trim, the Neoclassical style common in the mid-nineteenth
century in Ontario. While the building has suffered severe fire damage, what remains
appears remarkably true to what is believed to be the original detail. Smoke damage,
in many cases, conceals sound finishes and trim. We believe it is imperative to
maintain as much of the original as is possible. Because of the relatively small
number of buildings erected during that time and the even greater rarity of a hotel
surviving so long, the Walker House represents a valuable contribution to our
architectural history.
