Brock’s Monument

This Brock’s Monument (quite reminiscent of Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square), erected in 1859, replaced one from 1824 that was later destroyed by agitators — you know, vandals — in 1840.
Sir Isaac Brock, one of Canada’s heroes who died in battle during the War of 1812, is entombed in the monument’s base. A spiral staircase, not open during my visit, ascends to the top of this 185′ tall monument affording views of the Niagara Falls region and the expansive Lake Ontario.
