The house was built in 1917 for the president of Niagara Dry Goods. It had many owners over the years and my father and my grandmother bought the house 30 years ago. It was abandoned and left to freeze in the brutal Niagara Falls winters. When my father first walked in it was just a shell. It still had all of the original chandeliers, woodwork, fire place brass door knobs hardwood floors, etc. But it also had water and ice throughout the house, vine growing in the windows, the ceilings had come down and all of the wall paper was moldy. Every radiator and toilet had burst, everything had to be rewired and new pipes had to be put in. The sun porch had completely collapsed and the roof had to be completely rebuilt. Most people considered it a lost cause and said it should have been torn down. But my father saw it for what it was. It was a beautiful house that he knew of when he was a kid 40 years before, and delivered newspapers to as a boy. He knew what it had looked like and what it should look like. So he put his skills, and patience into it and slowly brought it back to life. Then in 2011 I began to have an idea. I wanted to make the house even better. So my father putting his skills to work once again, was able to take the ideas from my head as I wanted and put them into the house. I wanted blue skies and starry nights on the walls like canvas and together we made it work. Every room has it's own feel to it. Each space has it's own character. So now we are proud to present to our guests the finished product. The property also has a lot of historical value to it. We found out many political fundraisers and parties were held here and it is one of the few mansions left in Niagara Falls.
