I noticed this cairn while I was in Niagara Falls this summer, it is located along Portage road next to a small parking area. There are 2 plaques on the cairn, on the older one it is written:

Launched 1832.Collapsed 1835
Site of N.F.Pavilion Hotel
Built 1821. Burned Feb 19th,1839

On the newer plaque it is written:

was moved to this site
through the generosity of the

and with the co-operation of
