History:
When The Red Coach Inn first opened its doors for business on August
30, 1923, Niagara Falls had finally gained a hostelry befitting its rank
as the honeymoon capital of the world.
Situated near the center of town overlooking the spectacular upper
rapids, the inn was an imposing structure, three and one half stories
high and built in the architectural style of the old English Tudor
period.
No expense or effort was spared by the owners, William Schoelkopf and
Charles Peabody, in recreating the atmosphere and style of the Old Bell
inn in Finedon, England, which history says "was granted a license
during the reign of the Saxon King Harold and Queen Editha who often
rested there when stag hunting."
Above the fireplace in the Grill Room is a painting of General La
Fayette's famous Red Coach, for which the Inn is named, by Buffalo
artist A. Rafael Beck. The scene depicts the greeting of La Fayette at
the Eagle Tavern, which was located across the street in the early
nineteenth century.
