Description: Rochester's Historic East Avenue District by Michael Leavy Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description American cities and towns have always prided themselves on their grand avenues. The social elite and industrial captains often transformed normal thoroughfares into magnificent promenades lined with mansions to showcase their wealth. Post-Civil War America experienced a burst of this activity, but Rochester, America's first true boomtown, had already set its sights on a grand avenue as early as 1840. The nouveau riche were anxious to establish a prestigious social colony befitting their stature. Using local and national architects, landscapers, and craftsmen, they transformed East Avenue from a crudely hacked pioneer lane into one of the grandest approaches to any city in the world. Although somewhat altered, it is still Rochester's most beautiful street and remains one of Monroe County's most spectacular features. Author Biography Twin brothers Michael and Glenn Leavy, who grew up in the 19th Ward, delve deep into its rich history, capturing the glory of its heritage, its decline through social changes, and its reemergence through community activism. In this first comprehensive pictorial history of the neighborhood comes not only fascinating scholarship but also the clanging of the Thurston trolley, the aromas of Louies Sweet Shop, the chiming from St. Augustines soaring bell tower, and the thrill of carnivals at Genesee Valley Park. Using over 200 rare images, Rochesters 19th Ward weaves history and social struggles Details ISBN 0738534978 ISBN-13 9780738534978 Title Rochester's Historic East Avenue District Author Michael Leavy Format Paperback Year 2004 Pages 128 Publisher Arcadia Publishing GE_Item_ID:140610188; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
