Danner House Bed & Breakfast  

"For nearly two centuries Danner House has stood strong as a landmark of historical and architectural history in the Niagara Region. It is one of the only surviving examples of early Loyalist residential architecture (also known as ""Upper Canadian Georgian"") to survive the ravages of the War of 1812. Due to its position so close to the Niagara River and the American border, Danner House played a role in the many conflicts that plagued this area in the 19th century.The house was constructed some time around 1805, by Ulrich Strickler, who had moved to Canada with his family from Pennsylvania in 1801. The Strickler family home would have been directly involved in the War of 1812. War losses claims filed by Mr. Strickler itemized supplies and materials seized by U.S. troops in July of 1814 during their advance to Chippawa and by British troops in September and October of 1814 when the British troops were falling back from Fort Erie. It is likely that both British General DeWatteville and General (Sir) Gordon Drummond at one time used Danner House as their headquarters"
