Follies of 1947 BOURJOIS NEW YORK,Distri!Jutol' 'This space purchased for the purpose of endorsing a worthwhile communrty effort. Portrait by Loulen Studio MRS. ALEXANDER BEACH President, Junior League of Rochester, Inc. The Junipr League of Rochester, Incorporated, warmly welcomes each one of you here tonight. The Junior League does not make a general solicitation of funds from the Community, so the money needed to support our regular com­ munity services, and to pioneer projects needing financial backing until their established community value warrants support by agency or community funds, must be raised through a public benefit such as this one. The Junior League of Rochester is part of the Association of Junior Leagues of America which includes 164 Leagues in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Hawaii, with a total membership of 44,000 young women. The uniform objective of the Junior Leagues is to foster interest among its members in the social, econ­ omic, educational, cultural, and civic conditions of the community, and to train its members to be capable of rendering responsible and efficient volunteer service. Your generous support and interest will make it possible for us to carry on such a program of service to this community. MARCIA MORAY BEACH.

    About This Tour This tour is a 4/5th of a mile loop that crosses and parallels the Genesee River. This route mixes historic buildings with contemporary office and hotel buildings. For tour maps, see last pages. Rochester city streets on a whole are pedestrian, wheelchair and stroller friendly. In particular, for those taking this tour it is possible The Landmark Society of Western New York to stay exclusively on city sidewalks, with only a few driveways and alleys to cross. 133 South Fitzhugh Street Rochester NY 14608 Historic Highlights These are 24 sites along the tour; including 2 www.landmarksociety.org districts, 3 bridges and 13 buildings listed in the National Register of Historic Places. A most appropriate place to start a tour of Rochester is the south side of the Main Street Bridge (1857) (1). This limestone bridge is the fourth on this site; the first one, of wood, was finished in 1812. From the 1850s to the mid-1960s, the Main Street Bridge was actually lined with a variety of commercial buildings, making the river almost invisible from the bridge. The Genesee River, which bisects downtown and is directly involved with this city’s founding and growth, flows north to Lake Ontario. It is one of the few in the country with this natural characteristic. Used as a source of waterpower since the early 1800s, the river was of utmost importance to Colonel Nathaniel Rochester, a Maryland pioneer who developed a 100-acre tract on the Genesee west bank. This settlement formed the nucleus of the village of Rochesterville, which was chartered in 1817 and eventually grew to become the city of Rochester by 1834.

    Historic Resources Survey 2000 A Report on the Built Environment of 1936-1950 Copyright © 2000 - City of Rochester, New York H R S G Overview Historic Resource Survey of the Built Environment, 1936-1950 The City of Rochester conducted this Historic Resources Survey in cooperation with New York State Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation. The survey commenced in the summer of 1998 and concluded in April, 2000. Over 6,000 buildings were investigated in a search for structures eligible for nomination to the State and National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Two City of Rochester databases were used to identify properties for inclusion in the search: The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Building Information System (BIS). From this large group, two districts and fifteen individual properties are recommended for State or National Register listing. The nominated structures range from residential to industrial, and include a gas station and a television studio. Each recommended resource represents the best example of its building type existing in Rochester today. The selected districts and resources display better than average architectural design and integrity, and reflect specific architectural, development or historic trends seen in Rochester. The organizational structure of the survey places buildings in thematic groups which identify a structure’s primary function. There are ten thematic groups: Architects and Architecture Industrial Development Commercial Development Parks and Recreation Cultural/Societal Religion

He later recalled that the charter cost only $1000 while a New York bank paid $200,000. Cover: Industry and thrift were virtues encouraged by Charles Finney in his revivals in the 1830's. The Rochester Savings Bank was founded on these virtues. It did not accept large deposits, but encouraged the working man to save. (Courtesy of Rochester Community Savings Bank).

  • SURVEY of DOWNTOWN OFFICE SPACE June 2018
    SURVEY OF DOWNTOWN OFFICE SPACE June 20 18 ROCHESTER DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION 100 Chestnut Street, Suite 1910 ~ Rochester, New York 14604 (585) 546-6920 ~ (585) 546-4784 (fax) [email protected] ~ www.rochesterdowntown.com ~ The Rochester Downtown Development Corporation’s SURVEY OF DOWNTOWN OFFICE SPACE, June 2018 Executive Summary RDDC tracks nearly every building located in the downtown market, defined as everything within what was the Inner Loop plus High Falls, Upper East End, and Alex Park. Downtown’s commercial building inventory contains the region’s oldest office structures as well as its newest towers. This year, RDDC is tracking 9.7 million square feet in 117 office buildings. Of these, 89 are competitive buildings totaling 6.7 million square feet – 69% of all downtown space. KEY RESULTS As in 2017, the 2018 results were mixed. Class “A” continues to improve, and various signs of improvement were evident in the “A/R”, “B”, and “Non-Traditional” class categories. While overall vacancy remains high across all competitive categories, the rate dropped to 24.3%, down 1.8% since May 2017. Two major corporate downsizings and ongoing consolidations continue to heavily impact the downtown market – Kodak and Xerox. Kodak released Building 15 from the “Non- Competitive” category to Class “B”, and Xerox Tower went entirely vacant the day after our survey period ended. When Xerox Tower’s vacancy is included, the vacancy rate jumps to 32.9% for all downtown competitive space, and to 41.2% for Class “A”. Ironically, without consideration of Xerox’ movement out of downtown to consolidate in Webster, absorption in downtown competitive space actually ran positive between 2017 and 2018 by over 165,000 square feet.
