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.

April 12, 2022: Genesee Valley Greenway, Mount Morris Lake and small dam, Mount Morris, New York Seen from the bridge carrying Mount Morris Road (NY 36) over the Genesee River just north of the village of Mount Morris, New York, this small dam lies at the bottom of the reservoir formed by the much larger and better-known Mount Morris Dam which is located a little more than a mile upriver within Letchworth State Park. In the background is the scenic footbridge carrying the Genesee Valley Greenway over the river.
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.
Caledonia Erie Depot, 1909 On what is now a small residential side street in the village of Caledonia, there once sat the Caledonia Erie Depot. Across the street the Ball Mill processed grain which passing freight trains would transport to Rochester and beyond. The railroad here transported products and people through Caledonia for over 100 years, only to close after the formation of Conrail in 1976. Photography by J.E.

Avon Springs Hotel and Erie Depot, Pre-1875 The village of Avon became a bustling transportation hub in the summer of 1853. The rich mineral water of the Avon Springs brought crowds of people to the town's health spas, restaurants, and hotels. This stereoview shows a glimpse of the original Avon railroad depot with it's water tower and the neighboring Avon Springs Hotel. Sadly, all three structures were destroyed in a massive fire on December 13th, 1875 and only the depot was rebuilt.
