Shortly after the marriage of David Patton and Matilda Killips in 1851, they built this one-and-a-half story Gothic Revival style cobblestone house. It was named by combining their last names. Its steeply pitched roof edged with elaborately carved bargeboard, cobblestone rows supported between the carved corner posts and gothic windows make this house unique among the cobblestones found here. The Pattons lived here for nearly 50 years. David Patton and his brother, James, operated a hardware store until it was destroyed in the Paris Fire of 1900. He owned the Paris-Brantford Plank and Gravel Toll Road that followed today's Paris Road. Richard Palmer blog.
