Old Stone Chimney, Historical stone chimney at Niagara Falls, United States.
The 31-foot-tall stone masonry chimney stands near the Niagara River, constructed with local materials and weighing approximately 60 tons.
Daniel Joncaire built this chimney in 1750 as part of the French Fort du Portage barracks, marking the European presence in colonial North America.
The chimney represents the architectural methods of French colonial settlers and their influence on the development of Western New York.
Visitors can access the chimney by following the bike path along the Niagara River, with the falls skyline visible in the background.
The structure survived three relocations, multiple wars, and numerous ownership changes while maintaining its original construction integrity.
