South Lima Erie Railroad When the Erie railroad first came to South Lima in 1852, many locals made their living by farming. The rich soil in the area was so ideal for celery, onions, and mushrooms, that one 1899 article described it as a "boom town." To accommodate the massive amount of produce that was being shipped out on the Erie railroad, the Bahrenburgh Brothers Co. had a wooden storage building built by the Fay & Dryer architecture firm in 1902. Two years later, a spark from a passing train started a fire that destroyed many homes and businesses including the storage building. It's replacement was built the same year and still stands today along Muck Rd.

Springwater Erie Station, 1909 While most railroad stations are built at strategic points in the heart of villages or along popular travel routes, the hilly countryside of Springwater provided some challenges. The village itself is nestled at the base of the Hemlock Lake inlet. To avoid heavy trains struggling with the steep slopes, this station was built three miles west of the village around 1854.

March 6, 2022: Village Hall, Honeoye Falls, New York Built in 1886 atop a bluff on the shore of Honeoye Creek, the Village Hall is a contributing property to the National Register-listed historic district comprising mdowntown Honeoye Falls, new York. In addition to the offices of the municipal government, it originally doubled as the local fire hall.

Village Hall, Honeoye Falls, New York, March 2022 Honeoye Falls Village Hall, 5 East Street, Honeoye Falls, New York, March 2022. An 1886 work of the Rochester-based firm of Fay & Dryer, this handsome brick edifice stands on the shore of Honeoye Creek and is a contributing property to the NRHP-listed Honeoye Falls Village Historic District. The stout massing, the rough texture of the exterior, the profusion of round- and segmentally-arched windows, and the Classical detailing (note the projecting crown on the second-story window above the entrance, with its ends styled into volutes) are all indicators of the Romanesque Revival style of architecture that was popular at the time. The robust corner tower, with the "Iron Fireman" sculpture adorning the top of its pyramidal roof, was an 1888 addition intended for the fire department with which the village government shared the building until 1975; its original purpose was as a place to hang firehoses out to dry. In addition, the second floor contained a large auditorium whose stage played host to a wide variety of fundraising dances, theatrical and vaudeville performances, and even movie screenings.

Erie Station and the Geneseo Gas & Light Co. Many of the students who attend SUNY Geneseo live and work near Court Street. Before the university, the neighborhood had a very different landscape. To the right, the Geneseo Gas & Light Company was bringing early electricity to the town. The Erie passenger station on the left took people to and from Geneseo for decades before it was moved to Highland Park Recommended Citation: Livingston County Historian's Office, New York For more information contact us at the Livingston County Historian’s Office at: <a href="https://www.livingstoncounty.us/162/County-Historian" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.livingstoncounty.us/162/County-Historian</a>
August 20, 2021: Rose Garden and Belvedere, Sonnenberg Gardens, Canandaigua, New York A view of the Rose Garden at Sonnenberg Gardens State Historic Park in Canandaigua, New York. Though rose gardens are certainly not an uncommon component of such landscaped estates, Sonnenberg's rose garden's design of intersecting circles is indeed unusual; the curved beds and climbing bushes give a sense of informality that's much at odds with the norm. Most of the 2,500 bushes in the garden today - representing only pink, red and white cultivars, following the preferences of the lady of the house, Mary Clark Thompson - date to its 1971 restoration, the first of two, and were sourced from the renowned Jackson & Perkins Rose Gardens in Newark, New York. A second restoration occurred two years later, precipitated by the finding of the original blueprints used to construct it in 1905-06. At rear is the Belvedere, a majestic, Classically-styled columned pergola that separates the Rose Garden from the Italian Garden on the other side and affords visitors sweeping vistas of both.
