Biographical history
Thomas Kirkpatrick (1805-1870) came from Ireland in 1823. He settled in Kingston and became a lawyer. In 1828 he founded the law firm that eventually became Nickle and Nickle. He erected a building at 194 Ontario Street which was used for legal purposes for over 75 years. He lived alongside his business on the site of the Frontenac Hotel but later moved to the house known as St. Helen's on King Street West. He was the first Mayor of Kingston in 1838, and served a second term in 1847 when Kingston was a city. He was also a member of parliament for the County of Frontenac. In 1829, he married Helen Fisher, daughter of Alexander Fisher, judge of the Midland District, and had five sons and four daughters.
