Tugby's Bazaar
Tugby's International Bazaar was located right at the Goat Island Bridge. A huge souvenir emporium hawking Indian beadwork, china, “Niagara spar” jewelry (made from gypsum described as “petrified Niagara mist”), stereoviews and a cataract of other Niagara novelties, it was considered a crass commercial blight by Olmsted and the highbrow gentlemen of “Free Niagara.” The state of New York purchased it in 1885 and tore it down to make way for the Niagara Reservation.
