Phase IA/B Archaeological Reconnaissance Survey Phase 1A Cultural Resource Survey Inner Loop East Reconstruction Project City of Rochester, Monroe County New York by Nathan Montague, M.A. Douglas J. Perrelli, Ph.D., RPA Principal Investigator Reports of the Archaeological Survey, Volume 45, Number 3 Department of Anthropology, State University of New York at Buffalo February 2013 Prepared for: Stantec Consulting Services Inc 61 Commercial Street Rochester, NY 14614 i MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Project Name: Inner Loop East Reconstruction Project Phase of Survey: Phase 1A Cultural Resource Survey Location Information: Location: City of Rochester Minor Civil Division: 05540 County: Monroe County, New York Survey Area: The project area examined by this study is located along the Inner Loop from I-490 (East of Genesee River) to East Main Street. The project area encompasses 11 ha (27 ac). USGS 7.5 Minute Quadrangle: 1971 Rochester East, N.Y. Sensitivity Assessments: Precontact: An analysis of the distribution of previously recorded sites along with other background research data suggests that the project area has a high sensitivity for precontact archaeological sites. Sites have been found in the vicinity of the project area and along the Genesee River, which lies close to the west end of the project area. Site types expected to occur include villages, short-term camps, lithic scatters, and artifact find spots. Sensitivity may be degraded by modern land use including recent utility installations, commercial and residential development, parking lot and sidewalk construction, highway construction, and landscaping. Historic land use patterns indicate that most of the project area has been impacted by development. However, relatively undisturbed precontact deposits may remain in the project area, especially around the perimeter of the project area. Similar deposits could be found buried below fill levels. Historic: The distribution of previously recorded historic sites near the project area, along with other background research data, suggests that the project area has a high historic sensitivity. Historic land use patterns indicate that development, starting in the early to mid-nineteenth century, impacted much of the project area. Undocumented historic sites dating to the first half of the nineteenth century might be situated within the project limits. Deeply buried deposits may include evidence from the basements of former buildings, as well as refuse pits, middens, and other special purpose agricultural and commercial structures and features. Recommendations: In terms of potential subsurface deposits, based on the sensitivity estimates and degrees of prior disturbance in the project area, limited Phase 1B fieldwork is feasible. Phase 1B testing in the form of transects and grids of hand- dug subsurface shovel pits at 7.5 m (25 ft) intervals is recommended for those parts of the project area covered by soil, grass and other penetrable surfaces. Construction monitoring is recommended for impervious areas where Phase 1B testing is not feasible, to assure that any deeply buried sites that might be present are identified within actual impact areas.

This report presents the results of the investigation. The goals of this study are to identify and describe all previously identified archaeological sites within the project limits, to assess precontact and historic site potential, and to make recommendations for archaeological reconnaissance and mitigation where impacts are anticipated. All aspects of this study are performed in accordance with New York Archaeological Council specifications (NYAC 2004) and New State Education Department’s (SED) Work Scope Specifications for Cultural Resource Investigations (2004). Project Description Project plans call for the transformation of a portion of the Inner Loop highway system to a community-scale urban boulevard. The section of highway impacted extends from I-490 (East of Genesee River) to East Main Street (Figures 2, 3). The project area encompasses approximately 11 ha (27 ac). Proposed impacts to the project area include demolition and construction of utilities, landscaping, parking lots, vacant lots, and roads throughout the project area. The work scope and limits of the project area were defined in consultation with Stantec Consulting Services Inc., 61 Commercial Street, Rochester, NY 14614. Project Location The project area is located near the Genesee River in the central part of the City of Rochester (MCD 05540), Monroe County, New York. The project centers on the right-of-way for the Inner Loop and Union Street, from I- 490, just east of the Genesee River, to approximately 152 m (500 ft) north of East Main Street. The project includes approximately 457 m (1,500 ft) of right-of-way for the north-bound lane of I-490, approximately 366 m (1,200 ft) of right-of-way for Clinton Street, and includes a triangle-shaped parcel of land in between Clinton, I-490, and the Inner Loop. Figure 2 shows its location on the 1971 Rochester East, N.Y. 7.5 Minute USGS Quadrangle. Figure 3 depicts the project area on a recent aerial photo. 2 Figure 1.

Lincoln Quickprint- OROCHESTER PUBLIC LIBRARY 1998 US ISSN 0035.7413 A Brief Look at the 20th Century Through the Lens of the Camera In Rochester at the turn ofthe 20th century there was little ofthe wild celebration that one might expectfor such LI mile- stone. Newspapers instead looked back on the passing century. The 21st century, however, is the beginning ofu newmillen- nium.Newspapers report apprehension in the corporate and governmental realms wheregreat dependence on computers and electronic communication has developed irreversibly. A look at Rochester’s passing century gives barely a glimpse of the developments in business and manufacture, transportation and communication, education and lifestyles, roles ofwomen and newcomers and changes in the city itself: The history of a century can seldom be written by decades, rather our histories are more often divided by events, trends, periods- they expand and contract- elastic in their impor- tance. Events ofgreat importance in their day become lost through the century until some new event lifts them out to make connections and greater understanding ofour present day. This article makes no attempt to be comprehensive-only to present a picture of where we have come from- how we got to where we are today.

  • 165Th Historic Preservation Meeting Notes (Pdf)
    September SRB Meeting Notes – Jennifer Walkowski LE ROY DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT Sponsor: Le Roy Business Council Funding: Preserve NY Grant POS: 1811-1963 SLIDE 1: Intro The Le Roy Downtown Historic District is significant as a highly intact collection of residential and commercial buildings that reflect the evolution of the primary traffic artery through Le Roy, demonstrating its growth from frontier settlement to a bustling community in the twentieth-century. The Le Roy Downtown Historic District is eligible under Criterion C in the area of Architecture and Criterion A in the areas of Commercial and Social History. Main Street anchored early commercial and residential development in the Village of Le Roy, and it remains the primary thoroughfare and commercial corridor of the town. The district contains a variety of buildings that reflect the evolution of popular architectural styles from the early nineteenth through the mid-twentieth century. SLIDE 2: Map Early settlement in Le Roy clustered toward the eastern end of the historic district, nearest to Oatka Creek, which powered the mills that drove the town’s early industry. Commercial development started adjacent to these early mills, while residential settlement spread in a linear pattern along what became known as Main Street. Because the Main Street corridor remained a 1 primary focus of investment and development as the village evolved and flourished in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, buildings in the district represent a wide variety of eras, from the earliest settlement before the Village of Le Roy was officially organized to the automobile-centric recent past. SLIDE 3: Historic photos The period of significance for the Le Roy Downtown Historic District extends from 1811 to 1963, the construction dates of the oldest and newest contributing buildings in the district.

Thank you for choosing to purchase an access ticket to the virtual tour. It will be available for your viewing pleasure from Friday night March 19th through Sunday night March 28th. Our 2020 Inside Downtown tour, highlighting our downtown core, this year showcases the evolution of downtown urban living for more than 100 years. Rochester and its downtown neighborhoods are historically significant through its culture, community as well as its brick and mortar. Each historic structure speaks to cultures and citizens that have passed through - with their accomplishments and setbacks; children who have grown to effect change whether near or far. The remaining gems are structures with good bones...all tell a story; some have new chapters some are waiting to begin anew. We also honor new construction that shows a connection to the environment, sensitively designed. Those that can be saved must be so for in that effort to reconnect, we too, are rehabilitated and reinvigorated. The Landmark Society works tirelessly to ensure this higher purpose. As community members, we often hear about urban efforts to repurpose, rehabilitate, and create ways to reuse historic buildings. Through this video, you will experience these iconic structures that are now vibrant with life. You will see why developers, residents and businesses have chosen to commit to Rochester’s centre city. What’s old is new, infused with a sense of community building and purpose.

    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
