Your hosts, David & Doddy, would like to welcome you to
Bampfield Hall Bed & Breakfast.
Bampfield Hall is a charming historic home, circa 1872, set in an
ideal quiet location just off scenic River Road. Many have described
the home as a historic gothic beauty.
The interior of Bampfield Hall is full of David's vast furniture,
art, and accessories collection. From historic family photos
featured throughout the house to the warm rich red colors of the
1930's living room, guests will know that Bampfield Hall represents
a unique Bed and Breakfast experience in Niagara.
We offer 3 unique
and totally renovated rooms, all equipped with queen or king
beds. Each room includes a private en-suite bath.

Historical Building:
Bampfield Hall was recently
designated by The City Of Niagara Falls, and various local
Historical Societies as a Historical Site to be protected. Mayor
Wayne Thompson was at hand to make the ceremony
official.
Historical Notes:
James Bampfield
built this second home for his wife Margaret, who apparently never
liked their first house. For generations it remained the property of
the most prominent commercial families in Niagara Falls, and was not
sold until 1969.
Architectural Notes:
The house
is built primarily in the Gothic Revival style with pointed windows,
a jerkin head roof and gingerbread trim in the gable ends. Its upper
structure exhibits the Second Empire style elements of a mansard
roof on the central tower and iron roof cresting. The classical
style verandah was a later, early 20th century
addition. |
Nestled in the
former carriage room of Bampfield Hall, is a prized collection of
vintage hats and headpieces, dating back to the turn of the last
century.
A handsome gentlemen's display of top hats, bowlers and
fedoras is not to be outdone by the lady's styles, many festooned
with feathers and sequins, which include cloches from the roaring
'20s,mop hats, bonnets, and picture hats
One of history's
most consistent displays of style and imagination can be found in
each era's millinery. The collection at The Little Hat Museum,
boasting over 500 beautiful examples artfully displayed in glass
showcases, certainly attests to that.
