Here is a small image gallery of vintage Niagara Falls Photographs from the past:
Early view of visitors to Prospect Point, with Platt D. Babbitt’s photostand in background. Platt D. Babbit was an American photographer (born in 1822) known for his photographs in the area of Niagara Falls. He opened his business in a pavilion overlooking the falls and sold daguerreotypes and ambrotypes to visitors. Photo circa 1860’s.

When the Niagara Falls would freeze over enough to create an ice bridge (approximately 30-100 feet deep), people would be brave enough to walk out on the ice and travel from one side to the other. Concessionaires even pulled huts and shanties made of wood onto the bridge to sell tea, coffee, food, souvenirs and liquor! Niagara Falls in Winter 1910 featuring these concession stands.UNSPECIFIED – CIRCA 1903: Sole Adventurer stand on an ice dome beneath the icicled Niagara Falls in a Frozen Wonderland (Photo by Buyenlarge/Getty Images)Frozen Falls in 1885.
