Lake Avenue historically was the site of some of the finest houses in the Olde Towne. Running north to the lake, Lake Avenue was a thin line of urbanization on the rural roads to Toronto.

Lake Avenue also had a small train station for the CN line as it crossed the road heading for Niagara.

Mountain Avenue was Stoney Creek's working-class neighbourhood, with smaller houses and a number of commercial ventures.

The road was also one of the access cuts to the Niagara Escarpment and the early 20th century history of the neighbourhood revovles around the train station and the traffic coming from above.

Mountain Avenue North did not develop until very late in the history of Stoney Creek. Historically the road ended at the stately Stephen Jones House ("Lotus Lawn") and turned sharply east at the corner of Jones Road, running to meet King Street east of the creek.
