Jeffrey Pollock, President
The Landmark Society’s annual “Five to Revive” listing of historic resources has become a staple program. A resource that was placed on our first “Five to Revive” list, the Eastman Dental Dispensary, is currently under renovation. Multiple other projects that appear on this list have benefited by increased recognition and awareness, but also have benefited with greater funding opportunities that our program leverages. Our Preservation Grant Fund continues to plant the early seeds of renovation. Without our early assistance through the grant fund, architecturally and historically significant structures would be lost. However, it remains a challenge to fulfill the great demand for this program.

The Landmark Society gave greater attention to all aspects of media relations. We improved our magazine, Landmarks, by adding full color printing and elevated our magazine’s content, paying particular attention to preservation issues that make significant impacts in the lives of western New Yorkers. We also increased circulation of our e-newsletter, and aggressively embraced all forms of social media, including a strong presence on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
We continued our relationships with the real estate community. The Landmark Society worked alongside the real estate development community to fully utilize the federal and state historic rehabilitation tax credit programs. We advocated in both Albany and Washington for historic tax credit programs, without which, we would lose jobs, investments and irreplaceable historic resources. We worked with The National Trust for Historic Preservation and our partner Preservation Buffalo-Niagara to shed light on the endangered Chautauqua Amphitheater, which was listed on America’s “11 Most Endangered Places” list. We engaged the media, including print, television, web and radio to communicate the value of this special structure. The Landmark Society’s events and programs grew. For the second year, our Inside Downtown Tour sold out. Our Preservation Conference once again had a statewide presence and sold out for the first time in its history. Based on this success, we decided to work alongside the State Historic Preservation Office, Historic Albany Foundation and the Preservation League of New York State to make this year’s conference larger and more impactful. We recognized the best projects in western New York at our annual Preservation Awards, taking place in Rochester’s historic City Hall. Our heritage travel tours were engaging and popular, with our overnight tour selling out. The Landmark’s Society’s young professional group, The Young Urban Preservationists (YUPs), remain an energetic and fun group of individuals who are passionate about preservation’s role in forming our collective futures. The YUPs hosted events and workshops, which helped shape how our organization frames its future role in our region. We continued to invest in the use and maintenance of our historic properties. While we are mindful of the challenges historic sites are having, we continued to use our historic properties in unique and creative ways with increased partnerships and community events that further our mission. The organization’s financial position has improved, as we maintained a balanced operational budget for four years in a row. We met our Annual Fund goal and were thankful to receive various grants from a variety of sources. Our corporate support increased, which demonstrates the enthusiasm and support for our work. The Board of Trustees provided strong support; our talented staff is extremely dedicated to our mission, because they see, firsthand, the positive impacts that are made on a daily basis. But, as always, we realized yet again this year that our organization’s ability to offer services begins with our members, our donors and our volunteers. It is ultimately because of our committed supporters that The Landmark Society is able to serve our beloved region of New York. All the best,
The Landmark Society of Western New York is supported, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. 2

From the President of the Board
Nominating Committee The Nominating Committee is very pleased to announce three new candidates for our Board of Directors. We are very fortunate that these individuals have chosen to join the Board, as they will all bring extraordinary talent and fresh perspectives to our organization.
It has been an honor to serve as board chair of The Landmark Society of Western New York. It is the second time around for me. Yes, it’s true; I was board chair in the late 1980s. In reflecting on the way things are now versus the way they were then—an enormous, positive change is apparent. Sometimes change is hard to see, year over year, but I see a substantial transformation. We are a far more vital organization than we were just a decade ago. “Five to Revive” and other programs have ignited interest in structures that might otherwise be lost in the public’s interest. Collaboration with planners/developers and preservationists is more active than ever. On the administrative side, one of the signs of a great organization is its ability to change rapidly with the challenges and needs of the time. This is especially evident in our outreach to younger members (YUPs), planned giving and the establishment of an independent audit committee. Finally, the board leadership team is more diverse and experienced than ever. These talents, brought to bear, make our focus on mission even more thoughtful and effective than ever. Our transformation has been due, in part, to the leadership of our skilled and dedicated executive director, Wayne Goodman. His talent and experience in preservation and organizational leadership is outstanding. Wayne leads a talented and professional staff; they are excited about our mission. It is gratifying and fulfilling to see our organization thrive. Our Board of Trustees is committed to our work and it is a pleasure working with them. Further, we have countless volunteers, supporters and members that remain critical to our success. We couldn’t ask for more.
Jeffrey Pollock
Details on our finances and nominating follow; Wayne’s message is just before mine. In total, we are extremely excited about The Landmark Society’s future. Your support has made this possible; continuation would be terrific!
New Trustees Marjorie Searl: Marjorie’s career has focused on American art and architecture for over thirty years and has included her position as Chief Curator at the Memorial Art Gallery, where she helped oversee the establishment of the Centennial Sculpture Park, edited and wrote for MAG’s first catalog of American sculpture and painting and lectured on American architecture. In her home town of Brighton, she has been a member of the Architectural Review Board and is on the board of Historic Brighton as well as that of Friends of the University of Rochester Library and the Highland Park Conservancy. Currently, her research focus is the history of Rochester’s Sibley and Watson families.
Hugh A Hamlin
John Billone Jr.: John is the President of Flower City Management and Development, a second-generation family business which his parents founded over 30 years ago. He attended Clarkson University and Alfred State College where he acquired two associate degrees, one in business and one in Air Conditioning Engineering Technology. In 1990 John acquired his Master Plumbing license from the City of Rochester and continued to work in the family Mechanical Contracting business. In 1996 John started Flower City Development and has been focusing on real estate development since that time. Some of his projects include: Chapel Hill Apartments, Tudors on East, Grand Alexander, Park Terrace, Medical Arts Building, Vienna Senior Living and most recently the East Avenue Inn & Suites and City Grill. Grant Holcomb: Grant recently retired from the Memorial Art Gallery, where he was Director for thirty years. He was born and raised in California and received his B.A. in History from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Art History from the University of Delaware. He taught the history of American Art and Architecture at Mount Holyoke College before returning to California to begin his museum career as curator and assistant director at the San Diego Museum of Art. He assumed the directorship of the Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester in 1985. Grant was a Kress Fellow at the National Gallery of Art and has been the recipient of fellowships and grants from the American Council of Learned Societies, the J. Paul Getty Institute, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Henry Francis DuPont Winterthur Museum and the New York State Council on the Arts.

Sincerely,

Treasurer’s Report
Preservation
It was an interesting fiscal year for The Landmark Society of Western New York. Like most organizations, we navigated through a bouncy investment market. Our operating revenues were consistent with the prior year, but we managed to shave some expenses from our programs which helped to balance our budget. For this current fiscal year, the Board has approved another balanced budget with an expectation that revenues should increase. The Management and staff of The Landmark Society continue to operate the organization as efficiently as they can and are consistently seeking new sources of revenue which should come to fruition this year.
James I. Marasco
Your continued donations, sponsorship and attendance at our programs/sponsored events are an integral component of our quest to fulfill our mission of preservation in Rochester and its surroundings. We appreciate all you do to help us remain as one of the leading preservation groups in the country.
This year has been an exciting one for preservation in Western New York. New adaptive use projects continue to drive revitalization in Rochester’s downtown core and city neighborhoods. Many prominent historic buildings that have sat vacant for decades, including our 2013 Five to Revive the Eastman Dental Dispensary, are on a path to revival. The reuse of the Sibley Building has also progressed and our partnership with Winn Development on this project has continued to grow. Our programs and staff make an impact throughout the region, providing vital support to municipalities, community advocates and others who are working with at-risk historic buildings. Our expanded Statewide Preservation Conference reached a milestone in 2015 with record-breaking, sellout attendance. Over 300 preservationists joined us in Geneva for three days of networking, traditional breakout sessions, field sessions and a generally great time in a great city. The Landmark Society’s young affiliate group, the Young Urban Preservationists (or the YUPs, for short) celebrated their first birthday in March. Their second annual Bikes, Beer & Buildings took over 75 participants on a whirlwind bike scavenger hunt to historic sites throughout the city of Rochester. Along with representatives from other local young professionals groups, the YUPs also sat on a panel at our Spring Partners Roundup. Preservation partners from around the region gathered to learn about engaging the next generation of preservationists. Through our Preservation Grant Fund and Five to Revive program, we continued to provide direct support to a wide array of at-risk historic buildings. In this fiscal year, the Preservation Grant Fund provided $15,000 in funding for pre-construction studies. Grants were awarded to houses of worship, rural school houses and gathering spaces, and downtown village commercial buildings. The 2014 Five to Revive have each seen some measure of progress over the past year. The Hillside Cemetery and Chapel in Clarendon/Holley, Orleans County was recently awarded a major grant from the Rochester Area Community Foundation to assist with repairs to the chapel, while several new special events at the cemetery have attracted many first-time visitors, who are now aware of this important community asset. The former Trinity Episcopal Church in the village of Seneca Falls is the focus of ongoing discussions for its rehabilitation and re-use by a local developer. The Erie Canal Warehouse in Brockport received a grant and local advocates are completing a final report highlighting potential uses for the building. The Landmark Society is also partnering with the City of Rochester on a multi-year project to survey historic properties throughout the city and update the City’s Designated Buildings of Historic Value list. The Preservation division of The Landmark Society has been very busy during this year, confirming that preservation is alive and well in Western New York.

Preservation at Work
Events The Wiley Schoolhouse in the Town of Savannah, Wayne County. The Town was awarded a $1800 grant to fund a condition report on the building. Landmark staff are continuing to work with local preservation advocates to find additional funds and new, creative uses for this rural building.
2014 Cocktails and Carburetors
The best way to appreciate historic preservation is to experience the buildings, the streetscapes and the landscapes in as many different ways as possible. Our calendar of events strives to offer a wide range of experiences. We started the fiscal year with a perennial favorite: Full Moon Flashlight Tours at the Stone-Tolan House Historic Site– flashlight tours of the house, games on the lawn, then stories, popcorn and s’mores toasting around the campfire. This event attracts a wide range of attendees – from parents and grandparents with kids in tow, to young adults who can’t resist the lure of a campfire and an interesting site after dark, to the history enthusiast looking for a new perspective on Monroe County’s oldest building. In September 2014 The Inside Downtown Tour focused on the East End, with an exciting look at the new renovations in the Sibley Building. For the second year in a row, the tour sold out with 2,000 people enjoying the loft apartments, artist studios, condos and businesses in repurposed spaces. The YUPs (Young Urban Preservationists) offered a s’mores bar at St. Joseph’s Park as part of the tour - marking the first time Landmark Society has had back-to-back marshmallow events.

Landmark Events
Our travel tours hit the road in September as well, with a sold-out 3 night visit to the Hudson Highlands area, including visits to the Mohonk Mountain Resort, the FDR home and the Culinary Institute of America. Visiting, sleeping and dining in historic landmarks is the epitome of experiencing these unique places. It only makes sense that people who appreciate historic homes would appreciate classic cars, so The Landmark Society decided to partner with Oak Hill Country Club and launch a new event, Cocktails & Carburetors and Classics at the Hill, in September. Under the leadership of longtime board member, Jerry Ludwig, the event was extremely successful and introduced The Landmark Society to many new supporters. The festivities kicked off with a cocktail party at western New York’s premier storage and restoration garage, Horsepower Motorworks in Victor. Scott Riter organized an unbelievable selection of classic automobiles for the crowd of over 100 to feast their eyes upon. And speaking of a feast, the elegant food and libations in juxtaposition to the (spotless) garage features, complemented by the music and conversation, made this a most enjoyable evening. A self-guided tour of five different tour stops was organized for the following day. Ticket holders were able to see private collections of classic cars, many stored in historic garages, and were treated to lunch at one stop, as well. The final day of the event was meant to be at Oak Hill Country Club for Classics at the Hill but the weather didn’t cooperate and it was held the following week. October 2014 The Landmark Society Ghost Walk returned for its 21st incarnation. This night time guided walking tour attracts 1,000 over two nights. They follow lantern bearing guides through an architecturally significant neighborhood, and encounter actors portraying vignettes of the darker side of Rochester’s history; then return to the starting point for refreshments, some interactive displays on preservation and more. The first event in 2015 was “Walk the Walk: Encounters with Rochester’s African-American Ancestors.” This educational dramatic program serves an audience of elementary, middle school and high school students, with over 1,400 young people participating. Talented actors perform an interactive program, bringing to life the Ancestors, from Captain Sunfish to Frederick and Anna Douglass to a Dorsey Home orphan. Each delivered an important character lesson as well as their historic experiences. The public performance returned to the Memorial AME Zion church, Rochester’s oldest African-American congregation. During May and June we welcomed visitors to the historic Ellwanger Garden for the Lilac Festival Days, Peony Weekend and Twilight Tuesday tours. It’s a place that reminds us historic preservation is about plants and grass and flowers as well as bricks and mortar. We ended the year of special events with a bang: the 45th Annual House and Garden Tour in June. Highland Heights and the surrounding neighborhood were featured. We were honored that the Highland Heights Neighbors Association welcomed us, as they had never opened their unique area for a tour before. Close to 2,000 enjoyed the beautiful homes in the area, seeing how 19th and early 20th century homes can be lived in and enjoyed to 21st century standards.
