The Walker House was built in 1850 by Francis “Paddy” Walker (1798–1876) and remains the oldest standing wooden hotel in Bruce and Grey Counties, as well as the oldest building in Kincardine, Ontario, Canada. Only ever owned by two families, the Walker’s and Gairns’, the House was run as an inn and tavern for over a hundred years. After a disastrous fire in 1995, the Paddy Walker Heritage Society (est. 1998) was formed to restore the building.
