Old Stone Chimney
The Old Stone Chimney, is located in the city of Niagara Falls, New York. It is a masonry chimney built as part of a two-story barracks on the site of the French "Fort du Portage," or "Fort Little Niagara," 〔"An Old Frontier of France," Vol. II by Frank H. Severance 1917〕 by Daniel de Joncaire in 1750, when the Niagara River and its shores were part of New France on the North American Continent. The Chimney has been repurposed several times since by British and American interests. Relocated twice (in 1902 and 1942), it currently sits extant along an embankment of the Robert Moses Parkway, close to the exit ramp to John B. Daly Boulevard.〔"Local Historian Trying to Revive Old Chimney as Tourist Attraction," article, Niagara Gazette, by Mark Scheer, June 8, 2010〕 The Old Stone Chimney is 31 feet tall and weighs approximately 60 tons.〔
==Fort du Portage / Fort Little Niagara==

“Fort Little Niagara,” built above the Falls of Niagara by French traders and military men, was once considered the third-most important fortification in New France, after Quebec and Fort Niagara. Built by Daniel de Joncaire in 1750〔("Niagara, Queen of Wonders", 1916 )〕 at the southern terminus of the Niagara Portage,〔"An Old Frontier of France," Vol. II, by Frank H. Severance, 1917〕 the French burned the barracks and destroyed the fort in 1759 as British forces lay siege to Niagara in the French and Indian War. The Old Stone Chimney survived this fire. British forces claimed victory at Fort Niagara in July of 1759. The Portage and its forts also reverted to British control.〔〔"Niagara: Highway of Heroes," by Robert W. Bingham, 1952〕
