PRESERVATION.
The old saying goes that you don’t know what you’ve got ’til
it’s gone. But why wait that long? Rochester
is blessed with a rich stock of buildings with historic importance. Some are
more obvious, like the charming Victorians and Queen Annes
that still populate certain sections of the city. Others are more unexpected,
like shopping centers from the mid-20th century. All say something interesting
about our community.
The good news is that stories of successful local
preservation abound. (Go, Susan B. Anthony district!) The bad news is that
there’s still lots of work to be done. Look inside these pages to get better
acquainted with some local buildings we simply can’t afford to lose.
