From the Niagara Falls Review:
The Niagara Parks Commission has broken ground on a $32-million facelift to Table Rock House, a project chairman Jim Williams said will bring the 19th-century edifice into the 21st century.
Built in 1856, Table Rock has become one of the most popular landmarks in the city.
It has been upgraded a number of times since the Niagara Parks Commission took ownership in 1886, but said Williams, “(it) is no longer the stately facility it once was and deserves to be.”
He said the improvements will not only make Table Rock fully accessible to visitors, it will become a year-round destination with covered walkways, panoramic views and more to entice people into the building to meet, eat and shop.
“What we anticipate is creating a new meeting place in the park,” Williams said of the plans, revealed at a press conference at Table Rock Thursday morning.
