Lehigh Valley Depot in Hemlock NY This image developed from a glass negative at the Livingston County Historian's Office shows the rural train depot that once stood just north of the Hemlock Fair Grounds. While freight trains would load up fertilizer, and building materials from Woodruff, Reed, & Co.'s two warehouses nestled against the Hemlock Outlet, eager guests could take a few short steps from the train platform to J.H. Morton's Hotel. In 1902 the Morton Hotel was advertised as "First-class accommodations headquarters for hunters and fishermen. All kinds of liquors and cigars sold." While the Hemlock Fair would attract crowds of visitors every fall, the abundance of nature in Hemlock would bring outdoorsmen to town all year long.

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>
