2 | INSIDE DOWNTOWN TOUR GUIDE 2014
I would like to welcome you to The Landmark Society of Western New York’s annual Inside Downtown Tour! Downtown Rochester is on the rise. You will see, firsthand, the creative and adaptive use of historic buildings on this tour. These historic buildings have been transformed, and have quite vividly begun a greater transformation of downtown, along with the neighborhoods and districts surrounding downtown. Historic buildings that were once labeled as “too far gone” or “too deteriorated” are now homes and businesses that provide a clear and undeniable impact on our region’s quality of life and economic growth. You will also get a glimpse of some historic spaces still “in the rough,” including the famed Sibley’s Tea Room, waiting
to be rehabilitated as part of the massive Sibley Building rehabilitation, a project of this year’s title sponsor, Winn Development. And, you will see some incredible and awe-inspiring spaces with some of the best downtown views our city has to offer. This year’s tour offers a unique opportunity to see historic spaces redefined, but it also offers the opportunity to contemplate the past and consider how that past helps define our future. Urban living and commercial development are crucial to a strong local economy – and not only for a city’s urban core. A strong urban center acts as the anchor for an entire region’s economy. The Landmark Society of Western New York could not be more thrilled with downtown Rochester’s revival. It is
a revival that places irreplaceable historic architecture at its core, and all residents of western New York benefit. As always, thank you to this year’s tour stops, who have generously agreed to open their doors for tour goers. Thank you to all our volunteers and those attending the tour. By attending this tour, you will not only enjoy seeing some great spaces, but you will support The Landmark Society’s important work. Finally, thank you to our tour partners and sponsors. It is this team effort that makes such a tour possible.

You might not know much about us. Or, maybe you’ve come on the house tour, seen our website or our magazine Landmarks, or noticed a quote from one of us in the newspaper when building preservation issues come up. But you’re still not sure – so here are the Frequently Asked Questions, answered at last!
What is The Landmark Society? We are a private, nonprofit, membership based organization that has been affecting Rochester’s community since 1937. “Private” means we are not funded directly by the government, nonprofit means that everything we earn goes to support our advocacy and education activities, and membership based means member dues provide a major portion of our revenue.
1937 – Are you really that old? Yes! We’re older than the country-wide organization, the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Rochester has a great history of supporting historic preservation.
Can Anyone Join? Yes – we welcome and depend on all sorts of members, from those who want to get involved hands on, to those who are simply happy to support our mission and preservation activities. We even have a new group called the YUPs – Young Urban Professionals (don’t miss their s’mores bar at St Joseph’s Park on Saturday during the tour!)
Mission?Our mission is to protect the unique architectural heritage of our region and promote preservation and planning practices that foster healthy, livable, and sustainable communities.
How do you do that?(taking a deep breath:) We help to foster adaptive reuse of older buildings, host an annual preservation conference, advise homeowners about rehabilitation, conduct historic resource surveys and publish award winning publications. We train and inform local government on urban planning and design strategies, and we champion the value of embodied energy in a green environment. We are stewards of over 37 properties via covenants as well as operating the Stone-Tolan House Historic Site and the historic Ellwanger Garden. We offer a host of other events besides the house tour to inform and delight participants.
Wow. Does it really make a difference?Yes! Abandonment of architectural treasures is all too common in many places, but here in Rochester we helped achieve the preservation of East Avenue, Mt. Hope, Corn Hill and many other beautiful neighborhoods. We even successfully lobbied in the 1960’s to change inappropriate zoning and helped create upstate New York’s first ordinance protecting historic buildings. Now, we identify and protect the next wave of historic resources of the recent past, as well as advocating for tax credits.
We work to help our community understand that historic preservation is planning, not freezing buildings in a past time zone. It’s about wise use of resources, improving the local economy and community identity, and enjoying and understanding how our environment affects our quality of life.
How can I find out more?Visit our website at www.landmarksociety.org ; sign up for our weekly emailed newsletter, or – join us! We’d love to have you as part of the team at whatever level works for you. There’s information and a special offer at the tour headquarters.
Inspire. Encourage. Advocate. JOIN. Make a positive impact.Proceeds of this event (and all of our activities) support our mission to protect the unique architectural heritage of our region and promote preservation and planning practices that foster healthy, livable, and sustainable communities.

THE
LIBERTY POLEFor some Rochesterians, this
massive sculpture may only
come to mind when it is strung
with lights to serve as a faux
Christmas tree decoration.
But it’s so much more!
A site for protest. A liberty pole
is a long-standing American
tradition of political protest and
celebration. Before and during
the American Revolution wooden
poles serving as flag poles or for
display of political sentiments
were often erected in town
squares. English authorities
would periodically destroy them
- leading to violent struggles
with the “Sons of Liberty.”
A place for patriotic tribute. After the war, poles were erected
in communities to commemorate
those struggles and celebrate
patriotic pride. Rochester’s first
Liberty Pole was built on this
same spot in 1846, and served
as the site of many Independence Day
celebrations. When a storm loosened
its moorings it was dismantled, and
citizens raised $150 to replace it. The
new one went up in 1860, standing proudly
at 102 feet tall with a large wooden ball
and weather vane. The new Liberty Pole
remained as a place for social gatherings
until Christmas Day 1889, when it crashed
in a violent wind storm.
A significant public art installation. For
76 years the triangle shaped lot remained
“pole-less” and small buildings filled
the space. In the 1960’s city authorities
decided to reclaim the space and a state-
wide design competition was launched.
Rochester architect James H. Johnson
(designer of the “mushroom house” in
Perinton) won, and the current Liberty
Pole completed in 1965. The 190-foot-
high stainless steel structure paid
tribute to the past traditions, while boldly
proclaiming the modern age in its style.
As with most art, it attracted its share of
vocal fans and detractors.
Peace and protest. Since its erection,
the Liberty Pole has seen echoes of both
sides of its heritage. True to its origins,
the location has seen its share of late
20th and early 21st century protests,
from the Vietnam War era to current
day. We’ve also gathered there as a
community to celebrate the lighting
of the pole in its holiday role, to enjoy
musical performances, and to simply
admire – or complain – about this unique
edifice, anchoring the Inside Downtown
Tour neighborhood.
The Liberty Pole.

You may visit tour stops in any order. Tour
Stop numbers are for reference to the map
on the tour ticket.
Tour Stop #1Tour Headquarters (tickets, restrooms)
137 East Avenue Rochester Contemporary Art Center
Year Built: 1927
Architect: Leander McCord
Architectural style: Neo-Classical revival.
McCord (1874-1953) trained at both Roch-ester’s Mechanics Institute and the Ecole es Beaux Arts in Paris. The façade was the only part of the building that had a distinctive “style” - as the side wall (east elevation) is very plain. When built & up into the 1980s, there were elegant wrought iron railings (2nd story) and a unique arched canopy (with brackets) that made it look almost Beaux Arts/French, like something you'd see in NYC on Fifth Avenue. The details were removed when the
façade was "modernized" in the 1980's.
Look for on the exterior: The Ecole was the most famous architectural training program in the world at that time and their classically inspired curriculum is evident in this elegant façade. Note the swag, scroll, and cartouche details on the façade cornice and in the
2nd-story, recessed arches.
You’ll enjoy knowing: Up until the 1920’s this area was all residential. An ad in the 1925 Rochester Democrat and Chronicle advertis-es “137 East Avenue –new building for rent, especially suited for doctors, lawyers and other professional people.” The site served as a high end women’s clothing store when LuNette moved here in 1929. The 1933 newspaper lists a “help wanted” from this address for a “corsetiere -experienced in fitting highest
class foundation garments.”
Don’t miss on the inside: “State of the City 2014” - This exhibit features monumental installations by Ron Klein (Philadelphia, PA) and The Shua Group (Jersey City, NJ), each
encouraging us to think differently about our surrounding and consider consumption and waste in a contemporary environment. Pre-sented in partnership with The Memorial Art
Gallery and Howard Scott Gallery.
Complimentary beverages and light snacks on
Saturday, courtesy of Underberg and Kessler.
Tour Stop #2111 East AvenueThe Residences at 111 East Avenue
Year Built: 1925
Architect: Gordon & Kaelber of Rochester, in
collaboration with John Armstrong of Chicago
Architectural Style: Early-20th-century
Classical Revival
Look on the exterior: For many years
Rochester’s premier downtown hotel, the
exterior of this nine-story building is elaborately
decorated with cast stone details, particularly
on the first story, and, again, on the very top
(penthouse). The recessed main entrance area
is of particular note for its richly detailed design.
You’ll enjoy knowing: Constructed on Roch-
ester’s most elegant street, this handsome
building was modeled after the Surf Hotel in
Chicago. It was designed by Rochester’s larg-
est early/mid-20th century architectural firm.
Known originally as the “Sagamore Hotel,” it
later was re-named the “Sheraton.” There was
originally a roof-top terrace on the hotel. At
the time of its construction, the building was
surrounded by exclusive retail shops that of-
fered high-end merchandise, such as designer
clothing, furs, household goods, and jewelry to
Rochester’s up-scale shoppers. In the 1970s,
the Sheraton Hotel closed and the building was
renovated as apartments.
Don’t miss on the inside: Extensive
renovations were recently completed. The
spacious lobby with its two elegant staircases
was previously divided into smaller spaces.
On the second floor, the 1920s Mediterranean
Revival-inspired plaster details, cove ceiling
and fireplace have been restored. Several
penthouse apartments as well as the pool and
fire pit area will be open for you.
Tour Stop #3One East AvenueThe Penthouse at One East Avenue
Year Built: 1962 – 1964
Architect: William F. Cann
Architectural Style: Mid-century Modern

111 East Avenue.
LANDMARKSOCIETY.ORG | 7

Look on the Exterior: The original design of
the distinctive eleven story tower plus the open
corner plaza and double height glass walled
banking hall. The tower is distinguished by the
ten hexagonal piloti (architecturally expressed
columns, upon which a building is set above the
ground) that allow the tower to seemingly float
above the plaza. The piloti are set off by a single
mass of polished black granite that contains
an exit stair and appears, at first, to be the only
point of contact with the ground. The tower is
crowned by a corrugated concrete trough roof,
which sits upon the walls of glass of the Pent-
house, much like the banking hall below. The
banking hall with its corrugated concrete trough
roof set atop the two part composition of glass
curtain wall and solid brick walls is a distinctive
expression of mid-century modern design.
You’ll enjoy knowing: One East Avenue was
built for Security Trust Company, a large
Rochester based bank, which began in 1892
and eventually became a subsidiary of Bank
of America. When Security Trust desired to
construct their new “Security East” office, they
hired architect, William F. Cann for his renown
modern design sense “to give Rochester
something different, functional, yet progressive
in a bank building” as described in a 1964
news article during the building’s construction.
Several of Cann’s strikingly modern bank
designs across the country have begun to be
recognized and preserved for their importance
to high style mid-century modern design. The
most famous of William Cann’s designs, seen
across the country, were the distinctive cross
gabled, orange roofed Howard Johnson motor
lodge registration buildings.
The 130 foot long wall mural in the banking
hall was commissioned from John C. Menihan
(1908-1992) as part of the original design.
Menihan was a Rochesterian who rose to
national recognition for the series of large
high relief murals he designed for a number
of local companies including Xerox and R.
T. French, of which the mural at One East
Avenue is the largest. The mural, an abstract
8 | INSIDE DOWNTOWN TOUR GUIDE 2014
mosaic of glass, wood, and resin, is nearly
1500 square feet in area.
The Liberty Pole across the street designed by
local modernist architect, James H. Johnson,
elaborated further on Rochester’s desire for
modern design in 1965, one year after con-
struction was completed on One East Avenue.
Don’t Miss on the Inside: Be sure to catch a glimpse through the banking hall doors of the impressive John Menihan mural before or after your visit to the Penthouse. The Penthouse is an impressive space on several fronts. You eyes are arrested by the long expanse of space defined by the rhythm of the horizontal ribbons of ceiling lighting grilles and plaster of the cor-rugated trough roof which are coordinated with the vertical mullions of the floor to ceiling glass walls. It is not long before your eyes turn from the interior to the expansive 270 degree view of downtown Rochester, with an exterior roof terrace beckoning you to walk out and contem-
plate the sites, sounds, and lights of the city.
Tour Stop #4 14 Franklin StreetThe Temple Building
Year Built: 1925
Architects: Gordon & Kaelber and
Carl R. Traver
Architectural Style: Neo-Gothic skyscraper
Look on the exterior: Rochester’s only
20th-century Neo-Gothic skyscraper, the exte-
rior features cast concrete pinnacles, pointed
arches and decorative tracery. The original
entrance to the Baptist congregation’s sanctu-
ary is located on Franklin Street and features a
large Gothic arch and detailing that resembles
traditional ecclesiastical architecture. On the
top of the building is another structure – the
elevator shaft – which also features Gothic
Revival details, another clue to the original use
of this building: a house of worship, together
with commercial office space.
You’ll enjoy knowing: In the early 1920s, the
building committee of the Baptist Temple
(originally Second Baptist Church) devised a
novel way for the congregation to raise money:
they would build a new church that would also
be an office building. The rent from the offices
was expected to provide income needed for
the church to remain in the downtown location
it had occupied since 1860. The 14-story
neo-Gothic skyscraper, which contained an au-
ditorium seating over 1,400 people to be used
primarily for worship services, as well as four
stories of office space for the church, retail
space at street level, and 210 rental offices.
By 1965, the congregation no longer wished
to manage an office building, so it sold the
building and built a new temple in Brighton. In
1999, Costanza Enterprises began a thorough
transformation, giving the 75-year-old building
sophisticated urban style and high-tech
amenities. Today, the Temple Building contains
residential and office loft-style spaces as well
as penthouse apartments and stunning two-
story live-work apartments.
Don’t miss on the inside: You will visit two
private apartments plus a dentist office with
the best view in town.
Tour Stop #5The Sibley Building Please use East Main entrance by Landmark Flag.
Year Built: 1905 – original store, 1911 – tower
building
Architects: J Foster Warner
Architectural Style: Chicago School of
Architecture
Look on the exterior: You’re looking at two buildings: the 6 story retail building, and the 11 story tower on the corner. Note the windows above ground level. The “Chicago window” is a three-part window consisting of a large fixed center panel flanked by two smaller double-hung sash windows. This combines the functions of light-gathering and

natural ventilation; the single central pane was fixed, while the two surrounding panes were operable.Can you see a small concrete plaque, just above the fifth floor? Look to the right of the door where you will enter. It’s not easy to see that the building is named after the Filon family.
You’ll enjoy knowing: Why the Filon
family? When a disastrous fire destroyed
the original store down the street, Sibley’s
wanted to rebuild at this site. They were able
to acquire all of the land except one parcel –
owned by Michael Filon. Negotiations finally
settled on the sale, with the stipulation of
naming the building after the landowner.
We’re not sure how the family felt about
the plaque, visible from only a few spots.
But if you visit Mt. Hope Cemetery, you will
discover that the Filon family monument
cannot be missed – it’s one of the largest
and most expensive on the grounds.
Sibley’s was a meeting place for generations.
Today, Winn Development is advancing their
vision of returning it to that role again, with
retail, apartments, restaurants and more.
Don’t miss on the inside: You will tour multiple
areas here, including the former tea room
restaurant in the retail building and the Winn
Development offices in the tower building. Due
to the nature of some areas under restoration,
plan on a wait time to access the upper floors.
Weather permitting, you may be able to step
out on the roof to see the Sibley Clock Tower
from a unique perspective.
Tour Stop #6 NE corner of Pleasant and North Clinton St. Joseph’s Park
Year Built: 1843; bell tower added in 1909
Architects: original church – not determined;
bell tower: Joseph Oberlies; building rehabili-
tation as a park: Handler/Grosso Architects.
Architectural Style: 19th –century Roman-
esque Revival
Look on the exterior: Rounded arches every-
where – the three entrances, the windows,
even at the top of the bell tower. You’re seeing
Roman arches – a prominent feature in a
Romanesque Revival structure.
You’ll enjoy knowing: Built in 1843 by German
immigrants, a disastrous 1974 fire destroyed
it. This was the “mother church” for nine oth-
er German Catholic parishes in our area. The
original church campus included a rectory,
convent, school and large orphanage, as well
as a walled garden. In the mid-20th century,
a new school (now The College at Brockport)
was built and featured business courses for
high school-aged girls. After the 1974 fire,
community leaders rallied to restore this irre-
placeable feature of the Rochester cityscape.
The Landmark Society of Western New York
became the owner and developed the park
with courtyard and fountain in 1980. Subse-
quent street realignments resulted in Franklin
Street’s removal in front of the building and a
plaza created on that site. Recently the Land-
mark Society completed a renovation that’s
re-opened this quiet downtown space to the
public for daily visitation and special events.
Don’t Miss on the inside: The bell tower and
side walls of the church nave were retained
and stabilized to create the courtyard and
park you see today. The elegant cast iron
railings from the church rectory were
restored and used as part of the raised
podium inside the courtyard. Be sure to
see the prominent interpretive plaques that
include information and historic photos of the
church and site over the past 170 years.
On Saturday The Landmark Society’s YUPs
(Young Urban Preservationists) will host several
activities in the park, including a s’mores bar!
Tour Stop #7 Corner of Andrews and Bittner StreetsThe Kirstein Building and Craft Café
Year Built: 1908
Architects: not determined
Architectural Style: early-20th-century Re-
naissance Revival
Look on the exterior: Located in the city’s historic garment district, the Kirstein Building is historically significant for its association with the nationally known, Rochester-founded Shur-On Optical Company. Listed in the State and National Registers of Historic Places, this is the only early-20th-century industrial building to survive in this area. Note the well-articulated Renaissance Revival exterior design, paired
windows, and corbelled cornice.
You’ll enjoy knowing: The Kirsteins, who founded the Shur-On Optical Company, had other successful members in their family, including a son who became president of Filene’s Department Store in Boston and a grandson, Rochester native Lincoln Kirstein, who was a renowned artist, writer, art con-noisseur and cultural figure in NYC during the mid-late 20th century.

building, on the south side of Andrews St., is another reminder of the city’s German heritage: the Stoll Building, where “Der Abendpost,” Rochester’s daily German-language newspaper was published for many decades.
Don’t Miss on the inside: After many years
as an office building, followed by a period of
vacancy, the Kirstein Building was recently
rehabilitated as apartments and a café. Two
apartments will be open for the tour. The
Craft Café will offer complimentary light
refreshments on Friday night, sponsored by D4

their delicious menu that evening as well as on
Saturday from 11 am to 2 pm.
Tour Stop #8230 Bittner Street (formerly Franklin Street)Salem United Church of Christ
Year Built: Church - 1873-’74; education
building - 1929
Architects: Charles Coats (church); Gordon
& Kaelber (education building)
Architectural Style: 19th-century Romanesque
Revival
Look on the exterior: The main façade facing
Franklin Street is rich in architectural detailing.
Note the round arches, limestone trim, and
square towers with tile roofs (the tall spires
were removed from the towers in 1929). The
exterior of the church was substantially
renovated by Gordon & Kaelber during the
1929 construction of the Education Building/
Parish House, during which time much of the
stone embellishment typical of the German
“Rundbogenstil” version of Romanesque
Revival design was removed from the 1870s
church building.
You’ll enjoy knowing: Originally founded by
German Protestants in 1832, this congrega-
tion was formally organized as the “Vereinigte
Evangelishce Kirche” or United Evangelical
Church. Many of the church’s 19th- century
historic documents are in German and they
maintained German-language services into
the 20th century. In the mid-20th century, the
