1. 19 Navy Street - David Patterson, Shipbuilder - David Patterson (1807-1877) was a shipwright and a carpenter, of Scottish Protestant descent. He learned his trade as a carpenter and cabinet maker in Belfast. He immigrated from Ballymena (County Antrim), Northern Ireland, to Canada in 1826, and married Agnes Griggs. By 1827 David was employed at William Chisholm's shipyard as a shipwright, but soon turned to building houses in the rapidly expanding community. In 1834 he bought this lot form William Chisholm and completed building this clapboard house in 1835. The Pattersons had eight children (George, David, James, Robert, Agnes Mary, Samuel, Cyrus John and Matilda Jane). In the basement of the house there was a large stone oven used for family baking until the 1860's. David Patterson died in 1877 and Agnes died in 1884. The house was sold in 1886 at auction by Josephine Milbourne, a single woman. It shortly underwent major renovations, including brick veneer, decorative fish scale shingles on the gables, a new doorway, a bay and two balconies. In 1929 Josephine left it to her niece who resold it within two years. In the 19th century it may have served as a boarding school for girls and at another time as an inn. Agnes was the daughter of George Griggs, an early settler on the lake shore east of Oakville. She was the wife of David Patterson.

Lakeside Park, Navy Street - The two lots immediately fronting on Navy Street, south of Front Street, were originally purchased from William Chisholm in 1866 by David Patterson in who built and lived in the red brick home at 19 Navy Street, immediately north of Front Street. He appears to have build a smaller house on these lots, moved into them and rented out the larger home at 19 Navy Street. Later, this location was the home of Mr. John Alexander Chisholm (1861-1903), his wife, (neé Emelda Beeler) and family. The home was called Mount Vernon.
