Be sure to click on the picture, which will bring you to a larger version split, old on left and now on right. Then if you click on either side of the picture, you can see more or less of old and now. Very cool! On the Exchange Blvd "now" picture, you are on Broad St, looking east. The building on your left is the Times Square Bldg. The red brick building further down on the left is the Thompson Rueters bldg. This is the area that Watcher call, "Falcon Central". We gather here to look up at the nest box on Times Square. Title: Re: Rochester Made Post by: Carol P. on 16-Dec-11, 07:38:27 PM Wow! and look at the changes to the Powers Bldg! I love the look of this building now. Inside they've done a great job restoring it to it's past splendor. It's just beautiful! I always thought that if they ever did a sequel of Ghost Busters, they should film it here. :ghost:
When we were installing the M&K nest box at the top of the Powers Bldg, we were told that the owner of the building kept adding sections to the top of the building to try to keep up with George Eastman's Kodak Office Tower. I am not sure how true this is, but it made a good story. :thumbsup: Title: Re: Rochester Made Post by: Donna on 16-Dec-11, 08:00:39 PM Neat article in the Democrat & Chronicle...downtown then & now... http://media.democratandchronicle.com/retrofitting-rochester (http://media.democratandchronicle.com/retrofitting-rochester) via Kat Nagel on FB LOVE these comparisons!
