Parks Canada recorded that the house was owned by Dr. Lloyd. The original owner had been W.E. Haghman, a merchant. The date of building was 1855.

72 First Street is listed on the Town of Oakville's Register of Designated Properties. The legal description is LT 8, PL 19 ROMAIN SURVEY ; PT LT 6, 7, 9, pl 19 ROMAIN SURVEY, as in 786346.

As noted in the listing: the house was built c1865 by W.E. Hagaman, partner in the grain shipping firm of Gage and Hagaman. These merchants were the largest importer of foreign goods in the area for a number of years. The house was later used as the Temporary Oakville Hospital.


Notes
In December 1971, January 1972, Parks Canada photographed those buildings that were 100 or more years old. This Canadian Inventory of Heritage Buildings was a Centennial Project.

The Trafalgar Township Historical Society has worked with Parks Canada and Library and Archives Canada to find these photographs in the area of Trafalgar Township and the city of Oakville, Ontario. The collection will grow as we have time to collect and prepare the images.

The TTHS is also sending the images to the Town of Oakville Heritage Planners to increase local availability and to ensure local preservation.

Each TTHS internet record will show the back of the identifying information card first. This is to prevent any errors in reading the handwritten address held up on a clipboard for each address - we have noted that sometimes the address number is illegible or incorrect.

At the top of each TTHS record, you will find "pages" to click on to view the various photographs.

All TTHS records in this collection can be found in one step by clicking on the "Groups" link on the right of your screen, "Parks Canada. Canadian Inventory of Heritage Buildings, 1970-1972. Trafalgar Township & Oakville."
