September 14, 2019: Glasgow Street in Corn Hill, Rochester, New York Looking eastward along Glasgow Street in the historic Corn Hill section of Rochester, New York, road signage alerts drivers to the upcoming roundabout at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/carrotflowerproductionsintl/53616747822">Lunsford Circle</a>.
September 14, 2019: Former Corn Hill Methodist Episcopal Church as seen from Lunsford Circle, Rochester, New York The former Corn Hill Methodist Episcopal Church and present-day End Time Deliverance Miracle Ministry is a longstanding landmark of the Corn Hill district of Rochester, New York whose rich history lies at the intersection of the two rather paradoxical halves of the neighborhood's identity - the favorite abode of Rochester's moneyed class, yet also the historic nucleus of the local African-American community - and serves as a testimony to locals' commitment to historic preservation, having been rebuilt after a devastating 1971 arson fire. If you're an architecture buff like me, you can read <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/198134987@N03/53617592723">more about the church</a> at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/198134987@N03/">Western New York Architecture Deep Cuts</a>: my other account where I go deeper into the weeds about these sorts of things.
September 14, 2019: Ford Street bridge, Rochester, New York A view of the Ford Street Bridge in Rochester, New York, as seen from just to the north of its western end, along the Genesee Riverway Trail at the south end of the historic Corn Hill neighborhood.

September 14, 2019: Atkinson Street in Corn Hill, Rochester, New York A view eastward down Atkinson Street from just past the corner of Greenwood Street in the charming and historic Corn Hill district of Rochester, New York. Also known as the Third Ward, Corn Hill has been cited as Rochester's oldest residential neighborhood, with a history that dates almost as far back as that of the city itself: during the early boom years of the 1820s and '30s, when the newly opened Erie Canal was converting sleepy frontier villages into important inland ports practically overnight, this gently sloping hilltop across from the business district became the residence of choice for the city's newly wealthy flour millers and other incipient industrialists, earning it such jocular nicknames as the "Ruffled-Shirt Ward" and the "Silk Stocking District". Despite Rochester's continued outward growth, Corn Hill held onto its cachet as one of the city's most desirable addresses well into the 20th century. Later, as its fortunes began to level off and decline, the story became one of conflict between, on the one hand, city planners who sought to demolish many of the handsome but deteriorated period homes in the name of urban renewal, and on the other, preservation-minded neighborhood residents who saw in its picturesque Victorian streetscapes the key to its future return to prosperity. Happily, the latter camp won out, and deserve the credit for the successful nomination of the Third Ward Historic District to the National Register of Historic Places, which was made official in 1974.

September 14, 2019: The verdant Lunsford Circle, Rochester, New York Looking southward toward the corner of Glasgow Street from the verdant Lunsford Circle Park in Rochester, New York on a pleasant afternoon in late summer. One of the oldest public spaces in the city, this 35,000-square-foot, Frederick Law Olmsted-designed green space is found at the intersection of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Greig, and Frederick Douglass Streets in the heart of the historic Corn Hill neighborhood.
