1. Niagara Falls Police Station

This is the old niagara falls police station it was built around the 1930(a)s and has unfortunatley fallen into disrepair. my dad said that when he was younger the building was not maintained even when it was operational so thats why it looks the way it does, the building is vacant but seem impossible to enter (if you find a way to enter i would reccomend that you dont because the roof is gone and im sure it is unsafe). the building has amazing stone work and architechture, if you come here i reccomend that you bring a camera :)
i have done a little research and found some old photos of the building in its hay-day!
so please be respectful and enjoy
the building is located at the corner of zimmerman ave. & park st.

2. Queenston: Cold War Antenna

Many theories have been offered to describe the purpose of the structure found at this location. From research, it was a radio/microwave communications tower erected by Fleet Industries in the 1950s during the era of fear of communism. The antenna was part of the DEW (Distant Early Warning) system. Fleet was contracted by Siemens Electric to manufacture and test radar equipment ordered by the U.S. government. This tower was used to test and calibrate large parabolic dishes. Testing signals were sent from a tower at Line #9 and the Parkway in Queenston. Approximately 100 dish units were produced and calibrated at this location.

3. Queenston: Quarry Mine Entry

Prior to the open-face digging of Queenston Quarry, a mine was established here in the 1830s, making it one of the oldest in Canada. When the quarry was later dug, most of the mine was destroyed. However, a good portion of it remains and can be accessed through a large opening at these coordinates.

A handheld GPS is suggested, as there is a maze of paths in this area. Entrance coordinates are: N 43 9.300 W 79 05.369 and can be spotted from a distance by a long line of large limestone blocks that have been placed in front of the entrance area.

Most of the mine is flooded by 2 feet of water year-round. However, there are dry passages as well. Visiting in the summer is only suggested with proper wading footwear. Winter exploration here is much easier with solid ice conditions.

The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority discourages visits and has deleted most public records of the mine location due to the presence of white nose syndrome in the resident bat population. See the link below for more information.
