PROSPECT HOUSE CORNER STONE
[Welland Tribune, 13 July 1900]
The corner stone for a large addition to the Prospect house at Niagara Falls, N.Y., was laid last Saturday. Some interesting mementoes were deposited under the stone for the delight of relic hunters a century hence. There were copies of all the daily newspapers of Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Rochester, Lockport, North Tonawanda, Toronto, Hamilton, besides a copy of In The Mist, the only daily tourist and travel paper in the world.
After the papers came the timetables of all the trunk –line railroads leading into the Falls, as well as of the trolley lines. Then followed a bound copy of the common council proceedings for the past year and the plumbing contract of the F.W. Oliver Company. The last and good luck offering to go into the stone was a Queen Victoria Jubilee sovereign gold piece.
