The Nathan Comstock Jr. House is a historic home located at Lockport in Niagara County, New York. It is also known as the Odd Fellows Orphanage. The home is one of the first stone houses built in Lockport between 1823-1829, and is a two-story, five bay dwelling built of native limestone in a vernacular Greek Revival style. It has an overhanging side gable roof. The original house was built of excess stone excavated for the Erie Canal. About 1900, a large, two-story, rear brick wing was added to accommodate orphaned children of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows members. From 1907 to 1944, the building was used as the Odd Fellows Orphanage. It is believed that the Niagara grape was developed on a portion of the over 800 acre Comstock farm, sold to Obadiah P. Hoag about 1825. Claudius L. Hoag, son of Obadiah traveled to Canada to learn how to hybridize grapes. The house and farm was sold to former Congressman Lewis Eaton in 1830.〔 ''See also:'' 〕 The Nathan Comstock Jr. house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.〔 ==References==
