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. -

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. -

This page is blanl(. In Rochester 100 YEARS AGO AND NOW Centennial Year of the ROCHESTER SAVINGS BANK 1831.1931 THE MAIN FALLS AT ROCHESTER Showing the early flour mills at about the time the Rochester Savings Bank was organized, in I8JI. Power from the Falls determined the location of the village and gave it its early fame and name of "Flour City." Our illustration is based on an oft- published drawing by a famous artist of that period. The view is from the high east bank of the Genesee, looking south and westward. The village at this time was confined chiefly to the west side of the river. 6 Rochester and Its Oldest Bank Have Grown Up Together was a hundred years ago, of an evening in May, I8JI, following the granting of the charter, that a group of Rochester's leading citizens met to organize its first savings bank. Strange as it seems to us here in the Rochester of 1931, those were still pioneer days in Western New York. The little settlement at the Falls of the Genesee was in so turbulent a condition, that there was crying need for a trustworthy depository for the savings of its ambitious citizens. The community was new and raw with the rawness of a frontier town. -
