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.

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

CONTINUES ON PAGE 8

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

Page 8: Inside Downtown 2014

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

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
