Fort Schlosser, Military fortification in Chippawa Region, Niagara Falls, Canada
Fort Schlosser contains a stone chimney structure and sits along the shoreline of the Niagara River near the Porter-Barton Dock landing area.
British colonial forces constructed Fort Schlosser in 1760 to protect the upper entrance of the portage around Niagara Falls with four mounted cannons.
The fort received its name from Captain Joseph Schlosser of the Royal American Regiment of Foot, following British Army naming traditions.
The fortification included two storehouses and separate living quarters for officers and soldiers within its wooden stockade perimeter.
During a surprise raid in 1813, British and Canadian forces captured the entire American garrison, seizing a brass cannon and 57 muskets.
