12 Yates St, which is also known as The Merritt House and Oak Hill have a long history in Niagara.

Some of that history is documented at Haunted Hamilton's page for this possibly haunted location.

The Merritt House, located on Oak Hill in St. Catharines, Ontario, was once home to William Hamilton Merritt, builder of the Welland Canal and long considered one of the "fathers of Canadian transportation".

Before the building became a radio station in 1938, this historic structure also served as a military convalescent home during the First World War, a brewery, and an Inn in the mid 1930's. With a lively past such as this, it is no wonder that the house was reputed to be haunted.
