In 1891, Alexander Fraser, a local lawyer and magistrate, constructed the original house on this magnificent site overlooking the Niagara River and Gorge. Constructed with quality materials on a layer of bedrock, the home has retained its strength and character throughout the subsequent decades. Fraser and his family occupied the house until his death in 1942.
From 1942 to 1961, the Gracie family lived in this classic version of an Eastlake Victorian home.
In 1961, Elvira and Peter Van Kleef purchased the home and began the Bed & Breakfast business known as the “Eastwood Tourist Lodge”. As tourism continued to grow in Niagara, so would the Eastwood Tourist Lodge! With the success of their operation, the Van Kleef's expanded the building with a 6 unit addition in 1977 thereby bringing the total number of units to 9. Eastwood Tourist Lodge was a roaring success and with the onset of age, Elvira and Peter transitioned the business down to their son and daughter in law in the early 1990’s.
Gerry and Joanne Van Kleef operated the B&B until their untimely deaths in 2010 and 2011. Sadly, this wonderful building was closed between 2009 and 2014 and was falling into disrepair. In the spring of 2014, the revitalization of the home began again when John & Isabella Pinter purchased the property and immediately commenced the renovation process.
June 30, 2020 marks the end to the final phase of construction at Eastwood Tourist Lodge. Now known as Niagara Grandview Manor and featuring the architecture of a grand Victorian hotel, the Inn now features interior corridors and private balconies overlooking the Niagara Gorge.
