Moore-Bishop-Stokes House

The Moore-Bishop-Stokes House is the oldest building on King Street, and is one of several of its kind that were part of the post-War of 1912 expansion of old Niagara. A school is reputed to have occupied the house at one time, and the building was noted as a lodging house in the 1870s. A large silver maple, planted in 1892 by the Bishop family, survives and further contributes to the property's value.

The Moore-Bishop Stokes House features a Neo-classical design typical to the Niagara area at the time of its construction. The two storey asymmetrical structure includes several features of interest, including the restored clapboard, sash, entrance doorcase, cornice gutters, large interior chimney and eaves returns. The yellow clapboard exterior and wood shingle roofing compliments the streetscape. The lean-to addition was constructed circa 1860 by the second owner, John Doritty. Original interior details are also included in the designation, specifically the door cases, chair rails, parts of the staircase and the drawing room mantelpiece.
