Lundy House, Niagara Falls (demolished 1997). During the American Revolution, William Lundy was loyal to the British cause then following the war in 1786 brought his family to the Niagara area of Stamford Township in Welland County Upper Canada. William and Nancy Lundy built their homestead on 50 acres of land in the west half of Lot 141, Stamford Township, Welland County. Today this is located in the west part of the City of Niagara Falls on the south side of Lundy’s Lane between Montrose Road in the west and the Hydro Canal in the east. The first Lundy house was a small log cabin. The second Lundy house was built in front of the log cabin which was then used as a summer kitchen. The road the Lundy family opened up from their house eastward to Portage Road along an old Indian trail officially became the public road known as Lundy’s Lane in 1803. During the War of 1812, the Lundy House was used as a rest stop by soldiers on their way to the Battle of Lundy’s Lane. Fought on July 25, 1814, this was considered one of the fiercest and bloodiest in the War of 1812. After the battle, the Lundy house served as a hospital for the wounded.
