The Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in Rochester, New York, situated at the mouth of the Genesee River on Lake Ontario. The lighthouse was first built in 1822, making it one of the oldest lighthouses on the Great Lakes. It stands at 40 feet tall and is made of stone and brick. The tower is topped by a lantern room, which houses the original Fresnel lens that was installed in 1863.

The lighthouse has played an important role in the shipping industry of Rochester, as it guided ships into the harbor for over a century. It was also used by the US Navy during World War II as a lookout station. Today, the lighthouse is a popular tourist attraction and a part of the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse Historic District, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975.

Visitors to the lighthouse can climb the tower for a stunning view of Lake Ontario and the surrounding area. The lighthouse also houses a museum, which features exhibits on the history of the lighthouse, the Genesee River, and the surrounding area. The museum also offers tours and educational programs for visitors of all ages. The Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Rochester, New York.

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.
