Homestead Inn BB

Demolished House in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

Location # 5846

"Just off the main tourist strip, with the American side of the Horseshoe Falls still in view sits 3, maybe 4 abandoned and derelict mansions in a row. On a street that prides itself on its Victorian homes and views of the river, just far enough away from the hustle and bustle - sits a scar on the road - The Homestead Inn Bed and Breakfast.

This place would have once been buzzing with activity, people coming and going, eating, sleeping, reading, relaxing. It then turned to a home for the cities squatters and vandals. The grace of the B&B is still obvious, but the walls and carpets tell a much different story!"

Would like to open this up BM status now that it is gone, but with the lingering stain of arson here, it should probably be kept sealed for a while.

This was going to be my very first place I visited, but I arrived only to find the place completely demolished.

This place is now gone, the corner has been leveled.

Not a trio any longer... 2 are completely razed, land resurfaced. Looks like the 3rd is soon to follow.

Might want to stay away from all three of these for a little while, as there was a fire in the Homestead last night. http://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/2013/06/09/fire-damages-niagara-falls-building

Might want to stay away from this one for a little while.... Not a huge amount of damage, but still. Eyes will likely be much more watchful for a little while. http://www.niagarafallsreview.ca/2013/06/09/fire-damages-niagara-falls-building

Nicely done; knew from the gallery name exactly what this would be! I did a drive-by here about two weeks ago for the same reason and saw the other two houses. Appeared that Homestead was freshly done up with the other two and I didn't even attempt an approach, so good work on finding a way in. With summer coming and the neighbourhood they're in, the boards won't stay on for long.

Great place - have been meaning to get here but have consistently headed in different directions thinking that the neighbours here would be watching too closely to gain entry. That bathroom toilet shot is ultra cool, as are the shots through one room into another with completely different colours. Interesting!
