Well, not too terribly old...1979.

Just wondering if anyone knows what the emblem is on the side of Crossroads? I don't think there's anything on there now.

Hmmm...1979 was only three years before I started working in downtown Rochester, but this has me stumped.  All I remember is that there was a branch bank in the Crossroads building that first was Security Trust, then changed to Norstar and then to Fleet Bank.  I was somehow trying to make that into a Security Trust logo, but can't do it. 

It looks like a griffin to me.

I have some similar pictures of the area from 1982- as I worked in the OCSR tower(First Federal).  I will dig them out and see if I have a better shot of the emblem. I wanna say that it is the Security Trust Bank emblem- it's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw it- so maybe drawing from long term memory storage! LOL

Definitely the Security Trust Bank Griffin image on that building....

See this page / (http://www.rochestersubway.com/topics/2014/02/a-collection-of-rochester-matchbooks/) on the Rochester Subway webpage and search for Security Trust...

Thanks Christiane!  So Shaky and I were on the right track.  :)

You're very welcome; glad to help.  I enjoy the Rochester Subway site; it's great for reminiscing.  Christiane
