Similarly, our staff, volunteers and donors are what sustain Lollypop Farm. Our paid employees number some 75 people strong and they are the most committed crew of individuals I’ll ever know. They care sincerely and compassionately for each and every animal who comes through our doors. If our employees are caring, kind and compassionate they are only rivaled by our unpaid staff–our volunteers. Volunteers at Lollypop Farm outnumber our staff 7 to 1. That’s nearly 800 volunteers to 75 employees. To say our volunteers are the life-blood of our organization would be underestimating their contribution. Volunteers are involved in every aspect of our business from fundraising and foster care to dog walking and education. They are hands-on, seven days a week, to help save animal lives. And of course you, our donors, make everything that we do at Lollypop Farm possible. Without your unfailing support the animals in our community would certainly suffer. We are grateful for your support. Alice Calabrese Smith President and CEO Board Chairman’s Letter ver the past year we have been thrilled with the many Oaccomplishments of Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester.

  • Appendix B the History of Rochester
    Appendix The History of B Rochester Appendix B | The History of ROchester DRAFT - ROCHESTER 2034 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN B-1 The History of Rochester Early History 1803 A 100-acre tract in Western New York along the Genesee river was purchased by Col. Nathanial Rochester, Maj. Charles Carroll, and Col. William Fitzhugh, Jr. 1817 The Village of Rochesterville was formally established along the Genesee River, from which the City of Rochester would grow. 1823 Connected via roads, the river, and rail lines, by 1823, the Rochesterville village was a booming agricultural, milling, and industrial center, fueled by the opening of the Erie Canal. 1834 In 1834, with a population hovering at around 10,000 people, Rochester was incorporated as a city. 1838 By 1838, numerous flour mills were in operation in the Browns Race district, powered by the Genesee River’s mighty High Falls waterfall. Rochester soon became the largest producer of flour in the United States and earned its nickname, the “Flour City.” The population of Rochester continued to increase, attracting immigrants and settlers eager to put down roots in the bustling city. The rapid growth earned Rochester the distinction of being America’s first “boom town”. 1850S As the production of flour shifted to westward cities in the 1850s, Rochester’s economy was in a phase of transition. Nursery and seed businesses were thriving and beginning to dominate the local economy, rendering Rochester its second nickname, the “Flower City.” This new identity was enhanced by George Ellwanger and Patrick Barry, the city’s most influential horticulturalists, who cultivated over 500 acres of land into the Mount Hope Nursery.

  • Lyell Avenue Corridor
    HISTORICAL NARRATIVE ITALIAN SETTLEMENT AND MIGRATION CITY OF ROCHESTER, NY – LYELL AVENUE CORRIDOR The purpose of this paper is to present information to be used by the Landmark Society of Western NY and the Little Italy Neighborhood Association, in their collaborative effort to seek and obtain an official “Little Italy Historic District” designation, for a specific area located along the Lyell Avenue corridor, in the City of Rochester, NY, which saw the bulk of Italian settlement and migration over the past 150 years. The initial boundaries for the proposed Little Italy Historic District are shown on a separate map (street view version), and include the area north of Lyell Ave, west of Lake Ave, south of Costar Street and east of the former Erie Canal/Dewey Ave corridor, with Jones Square Park (est. 1828) in the center of the proposed district. The proposed boundaries for the historic district are as follows: Southern boundary: Lyell Avenue – properties on both the north and south sides of Lyell, from the corner of State Street and Lyell Avenue, extending west, past Dewey Ave., to the southeast corner of West Broad Street; Western boundary: property on the southeast corner of W. Broad St, with boundary continuing north along the rear (west) property lines of buildings located on the west side of Dewey Ave, between Lyell Ave. and Lorimer Street. Northern boundary: Lorimer Street (properties on both the north & south sides of this street), from Dewey Ave., east, to Plymouth Avenue North. This includes the entire campus (church, school) of the former St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church.
