    ROCHESTER HISTORY Edited by Joseph W. Barnes, City Historian Vol. XXXVIII AprilandJuly, 1976 Nos. 2 and 3 The Arson Years Fire Protection, Fire lnsuhnce, and Fire Politics 1908-1910 By Joseph W. Barnes The human fascination with fires and fire-fighting endures through the years. If tragic losses of life and property are still a serious concern, despite modern building codes and fire­ fighting methods, only a small leap of imagination is needed to appreciate how frightening fire could be in the years when even the downtown sections of cities were largely wooden; when spark-generating coal was the major fuel for all purposes; and when hundreds of hay-filled barns were tucked behind houses and commercial establishments. As in other American cities, these conditions prevailed in turn-of-the­ century Rochester. A legendary kerosene lamp started the fire which leveled Chicago in 1871. Thirty or forty years later such lamps were still common in barns, and gas lights could still be found in homes. The incandesccn t lamp was replacing gas, but the rapid introduction of electricity created another hazard until principles of safe wiring were learned.

    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.
