Originally built during the mid 19th century on another site and then moved to its current location shortly after William S. Davis purchased the property in 1920. Davis was a real estate broker and eventually became one of Oakville's wealthiest men. The house may have been built by Duncan Chisholm who constructed similar houses in Old Oakville in the mid 19th century.Statement of cultural heritage value, from Town of Oakville — Heritage Properties
