VIEWS OF
ROCHESTER
CITY STREET SCENES
.
Rochester, N. Y., East from Powers Building
.
Main Street is seen heading towards the horizion
on the right, but the Main Street Bridge is more difficult to find. Lined
on both sides by buildings, it resembles a bridge from the Middle Ages
in Europe. The green waters of the Genesee River can be seen at the lower
left, and give a further clue to the bridge's location. The Urban Renewal
Project of the late 1960's finally rid the bridge of these structures,
and many Rochestarians discovered that Main Street crossed the Genesee
River.
