Save 3121 St Paul Av (Stamford Presbyterian)
It is on Niagara Falls's heritage register as a listed property. Unless council issues a notice of intention to designate, it comes off the register on January 1, 2027 and can't be listed again for five years.
The present Church (c. 1871) was built on the foundation of an earlier structure. Features of note are the balustrade on top and triple lancet windows on the front of the tower, and round stained glass window above the main door. The tower was originally three-sided with a back added later and each corner was once topped by a pinnacle. The original Presbyterian Meeting House, built in 1791 of logs, served the earliest settlers of the area, many of whom were of Scottish descent who chose lands atop the Escarpment. The churchyard to the south, called "God's half acre" when it opened in 1784 is the resting place of many of Stamford’s founding citizens.From the municipal heritage register
