Thompson House “The Old Fort” 


(c. 1852) 48 Lake Street 


It is believed that this private residence was constructed on the site of an old trading post due to the number of artifacts uncovered during excavation of the cellar. The house was the residence of Joseph Thompson, a wharfinger and first harbour master for the Port Credit Harbour Company.
