Be Among the First to Call the Frontier House Home. Live in the heart of Lewiston at the newly restored Frontier House. Discover luxury apartments inside this historic landmark, steps from shops, dining, and The Fairbanks restaurant.
There’s a special kind of magic in Lewiston’s village life — the friendly wave from a neighbor, the charm of locally owned cafés, and the energy that fills Center Street year-round. At The Residences at the Frontier House, you can experience it all firsthand in a brand-new apartment wrapped in nearly two centuries of local history.
A home with real history
Originally built in 1824, the Frontier House began as an inn for travelers during Lewiston’s transformation from a frontier outpost into a thriving village. Built by Joshua Fairbanks and the Barton family, it quickly became one of the finest hotels west of Albany and a landmark of hospitality for Western New York.
Over time, the Frontier House earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places and became one of the region’s most recognized historic buildings. Today, after a thoughtful restoration by Ellicott Development, the building has been reimagined for modern living while preserving its distinctive architecture and timeless character.
Each apartment features contemporary finishes, high-end appliances, and smart layouts designed for everyday comfort. Large windows bring in natural light and village views, reminding you every day that you’re living in a place where past and present meet.
The convenience of village living
Location is everything — and living in the heart of the quaint and vibrant Village of Lewiston means the best of Western New York is right outside your front door. Step out from Frontier House and stroll along Center Street, where you’ll find cafés, locally owned shops, and some of the region’s best restaurants within minutes.
Enjoy dinner or weekend brunch at The Fairbanks, located right on-site, then wander down to the waterfront or catch live music and festivals just a short walk away. Lewiston is known for its rich history, river views, and seasonal celebrations, making it one of the best small towns to live, work, and visit in Western New York.
For residents, that means:
- Walkable access to dining, coffee, and everyday conveniences on Center Street
- Easy enjoyment of local festivals, concerts, and community events throughout the year
- A relaxed small-town feel just a short drive from Niagara Falls and Buffalo
If you’re seeking a lifestyle that combines historic charm, community, and everyday convenience, village living at Frontier House delivers it all.
