The museum is located on the Niagara River, making for lovely views of the water and across to the American side of the river. There is quite a bit of space to walk around the grounds and enjoy the views.

The museum was originally a house built by Sam Weir, who was a prominent lawyer in the mid-20^th century. He developed an interest in fine art, beginning in the 1920s, and started to build a collection. His intention when building his home along the Niagara River was that it would one day become an art museum after his death. He died in 1981. Though he purchased the property in 1943, the home wasn't completed until 1970.

Weir hired a man named Arthur E. Nutter who was a friend of Weir's and who was the first architect to practice in London, Ontario. The house was built in a Georgian style and the original wood paneling remains.
