Buttler's Barracks, Fort George, Niagara-on-the-Lake

Buttler's Barracks, Fort George, Niagara-on-the-Lake

Buttler's Barracks near Fort George, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, constructed in 1818

Fort George was built in 1790s by the British Army to replace Fort Niagara. Many of its structures were demolished in 1813 during the Battle of Fort George. The poor wartime design of Fort George led to its replacement by Fort Mississauga in the 1820s.

Niagara-on-the-Lake was established in 1779 and was originally called Butlersburg. It was renamed to Newark in 1792 and became the first capital of Upper Canada, a province that later became Ontario. In 1797 the name was changed to Niagara and finally in 1861 the "-on-the-Lake" was added.

Photographed with a 35mm Nikon FE camera on Fomapan 400 Black & White Negative Film, developed in Rollei Supergrain developer.
