Heritage Properties

144 Front St is a heritage property listed in the Oakville Heritage Register. The property was built in 1829. The heritage status was designated in 1978.

Description: 1 1/2 storey clapboard house with saltbox design. Constructed of local white pine logs on a foundation of field stones. Other significant features include wainscoting and window trim hardware.

History: Merrick Thomas House. A fine example of an early settler's second house, which would have replaced the log cabins often built by settlers. It was moved to Lakeside Park in 1955. Originally a storage site for cordwood used on lake steamers, this land has been a public park since 1877 when it was traded to the Town by George K. Chisholm, the first mayor, in exchange for the permanent closing of Front and Water Streets where they ran into the harbour. In 1896 the park was laid out, trees were planted and the land was sloped down to the beach. Heavy erosion has since caused the existing high bank on the lakeshore.
