Niagara Public School
Niagara Public School, today known as BranCliff Inn, was a public school in Newark in the Province of Canada (today's Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario). The school house is located at 40 Platoff Street in the National Historic District of Old Town.[1]
The school building opened in 1859, and one of its first principals was Janet Carnochan, who later founded the Niagara Historical Society and Niagara Public Library.[2][3] The school house served elementary grades and had four classrooms, two on each floor. The school was used until 1948, after which it was converted into a four unit apartment building. In 2005 it was converted into a bed and breakfast, and in 2012 renamed the BranCliff Inn after the owner's sons Brandon Tataryn and Clifton Tataryn.[4][5]
