Clifton Hotel (Canada)
Clifton Hotel in 1914

The Clifton Hotel was the site of the 1914 Niagara Falls peace conference.

History

The original Clifton Hotel was lost to fire in 1898. Its replacement was destroyed by fire on December 31, 1932.[1] Harry Oakes, a mining millionaire bought the property and presented it to the Niagara Parks Commission. Oakes Garden Theater was built on the site and opened in September 1937, as part of a plan to beautify the entrance into Canada at the Upper Steel Arch Bridge.
