History of Table Rock Hundreds of years ago, the land on which the pedestrian walkway at the brink of the falls and Table Rock now stands, formed part of the Falls and was covered with fast flowing water. The original Table Rock was one of the oldest structures taken over by the Commission with the Parks lands in 1886. It was erected in 1853 by Saul Davis at a time when private owners controlled the land surrounding the Falls. It occupied a site just north of the existing Table Rock, opposite the historic land form of Table Rock, a limestone ledge which was overhanging near the brink of the Falls and that fell into the Niagara Gorge in 1850. Table Rock was a starting point for the Scenic Tunnels, now much changed and renamed Journey Behind the Falls. In 1926, the old Table Rock House was demolished and a new Table Rock House was built of limestone with a copper roof, south of the old one and closer to the Horseshoe Falls. The new facility contained a lunch counter, souvenir sales, washrooms and dressing rooms for Scenic Tunnel visitors. It was also the station for the electric railway, the main mode of transportation through the Park at the time. In 1960, the second floor housed a display of replicas of the Royal Crown Jewels of Britain. Extensive alterations were made to Table Rock House in 1963 and in 1974 an expansion was added upstream of the main building consisting of the semi-circular dining room on the upper floor providing a panoramic view of the Falls. The lower floor housed a gift shop and snack bar. In 1989, a major revitalization program was started in the Table Rock area which spanned several years and improvements to the Table Rock complex were made again in 1993. 2001 marked the 75th anniversary of Table Rock as a spectacular vantage point for visitors to view the Falls. Times: Daily Tour times vary. Child ages: 6-12 (under 5 are free) 48 hours advance reservations are required.
