Even in a state that is host to some of the most famous museums in the world in New York City, an upstate adventure can result in some pretty cool artistic discoveries. Head up to Niagara Falls, and you’ll be in for a treat. Prophet Isaiah’s Second Coming House is one of the most engaging works of art you’ll find in New York, strange and beautiful in its own way. The artist who created the house died in January of 2020, leaving behind not only a renowned piece of art but a remarkable story that breaks away from the norm.

If you visit Niagara Falls and drive down Ontario Avenue, you’ll eventually pass by a house that isn’t like the others.

The artist, Isaiah Robertson, constructed the house with an expectation that the second coming of Christ would take place in Niagara Falls in 2014.

If you’re in the area, this remarkable house is worth spending an hour or so just to admire Robertson’s imagination and attention to detail.

The house is full of spiritual and religious imagery, including the Seven Seals and pearly gates referenced in Revelation. Robertson believed that he had been designated as a prophet by God.

Robertson was not a formally trained artist, but you would never guess that after taking a look at his otherworldly masterpiece in Niagara Falls.
