From the Director T

he Landmark Society of Western New York solidified and expanded our commitment to heritage preservation across western New York through advocacy, programming, education and events. Once again our Five to Revive listing of historic resources has proven to be a popular and impactful program. This annual list calls attention to those preservation facets or resources that are significant and in need. However, these listings also call attention to great opportunities, often forgotten. With this advocacy tool leading the way, our organization maintains an increasing role in real estate development, paying particular attention to making sure our historic properties are utilized and leveraged. In addition, the Landmark Society provided input and counsel on numerous projects that involve new construction, adding commentary to ensure new design is compatible and appropriate to its proper context. Our annual preservation conference, once a modest regional conference, sold out for a second straight year. The Landmark Society hosts the New York Statewide Preservation Conference, which took place in Albany and Troy with our partners playing a pivotal role, including the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the Preservation League of New York State and the Historic Albany Foundation. We have already started preparation for the upcoming statewide conference to be held in Rochester. Our heritage travel tours took us to Cuba, where we experienced Cuba’s colorful architectural legacy and witnessed firsthand how Cubans are interweaving their rich culture with their exciting future. It was timely to see a nation in transition, and to experience how the preservation of Cuba’s built environment plays into those transition plans.

Overall, our programs and events were quite successful, with yet again strong attendance at our House and Garden Tour and our Inside Downtown Tour. We further utilized our historic properties for programmatic needs, particularly in our partnering with several organizations to better utilize St. Joseph’s Park in downtown Rochester. Each property received an increased amount of investment this year for various maintenance projects, with our Stone Tolan Historic Site requiring considerable investment. While our organization’s fiscal health remains strong, maintaining necessary operational funding is a consistent challenge. As always, our committed donors, sponsors and members provided financial backing, with our dedicated and talented staff tirelessly working to fulfill our vital mission to our community and region.

Wayne Goodman Executive Director

The Landmark Society’s Preservation Grant Fund assisted numerous communities by offering modest funding to undertake pre-construction studies on historic buildings in jeopardy. The request for this Fund continues to far outweigh our availability of funds; one area of consideration is to engage in future fund raising to more adequately meet this demand.

Letters

From the President of the Board I

t 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 Jeffrey Pollock 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. In total, we are extremely excited about The Landmark Society’s future. Your support has made this possible; continuation would be terrific!

Sincerely, Jeffrey Pollock Board President

Financials

Treasurer’s Report T

his past fiscal year was another solid year for The Landmark Society of Western New York. We met our goal of significantly raising our revenues and achieving a balanced operating budget. While the stock market remained turbulent last year, our operations stayed the course. Coming into the current fiscal year, we again budgeted a balanced budget while expecting a big boost in our grant and fee for service revenue categories. The board, management and staff continue to identify unique preservation programs that are financially self-sustaining while continuing to foster the mission of the Organization.

Preservation T

his fiscal year, The Landmark Society’s Preservation Division was as busy as ever. Our growing New York Statewide Preservation Conference reached yet another milestone, with nearly 350 attendees from across the state. We partnered with our colleagues at Historic Albany Foundation, the Preservation League of New York State, and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation to bring the Conference east to the Capital Region. Moving east for the year allowed us to expand our audience and garner the attention of legislators in Albany.

Through our Preservation Grant Fund and Five to Revive program, we continued to provide direct support to a wide array of at-risk historic resources. In this fiscal year, the Preservation Grant Fund provided $10,700 in funding for pre-construction studies. Grants were awarded to historic houses of worship, municipally-owned buildings, a cemetery, a grange hall, and former schools. Many of the 2015 Five to Revive properties have moved closer to a secure future. The fate of the Cattaraugus County Memorial and Historical Building remains uncertain but Landmark Society staff has worked closely with the local preservation group, CAMP (Citizens Advocating Memorial Preservation) to advocate for the building and negotiate with the County. The Former Wollensak Optical Company is currently on the market. Landmark staff partnered with local developers to sponsor a historic district nomination for the Main St. East/ North Clinton Avenue Retail District.

National Register listing for this block of buildings will afford developers the opportunity to make use of State and Federal Historic Tax Credits. In partnership with NeighborWorks Rochester, plans and funding are underway to remake the parking lot in front of the Lockwood-Alhart Cobblestone House and Retail Plaza into a friendlier space for the neighborhood. Finally, we have worked with two of the Fraternal Meeting Halls, the Grange Hall in Huron and the Carter Memorial G.A.R. Hall in Nunda, to develop a template that will be useful for revitalization of buildings in this category. Work also began on Phase 1 of a multiyear project to conduct a historic resources survey of the entire city of Rochester. With funding provided by the City of Rochester and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation, this project stemmed from the Five to Revive listing of the City of Rochester’s Designated Buildings of Historic Value. The Landmark Society has partnered with the City to gather updated data on historic resources throughout the city. Our young affiliate group, the Young Urban Preservationists (or the YUPs, for short) continued to expand its involvement in the preservation community. The YUPs held their annual Bikes, Beer & Buildings bicycle scavenger hunt; organized a PARK(ing) Day intervention where they transformed a vacant parking lot into a vibrant public space; held their first “heart bombing” event in February; and became a member

of the Rust Belt Coalition of Young Preservationists.

The Landmark Society joined the Rochester Coalition for Neighborhood Living to launch a new program called Celebrate City Living. Celebrate City Living is a resource for learning about and promoting Rochester living and city housing. (see www.celebratecityliving. org) We also began our newest initiative—a Rochester LGBTQ Landmarks Survey created to identify landmarks of significance in the history of Rochester’s LGBTQ community and recognize their importance both historically and culturally. The first phase of this project was funded in part by the LGBT Fund of Greater Rochester of Rochester Area Community Foundation with partners including the City of Rochester, the Gay Alliance of Genesee Valley (GAGV), ImageOut, Out & Equal New York Finger Lakes, Q Center at RIT, Trillium Health, University of Rochester Susan B. Anthony Center and WXXI and The Little. Photos: 2016 Preservation conference; right, Young Urban Preservationists; bottom, Five to Revive: Cattaraugus County Memorial and Historical Building

Events W

e are pleased to offer a full calendar of events each year—and are proud that so many people participate. Its proof positive that many want to experience, first hand, the diversity that historic preservation brings to our community. The fiscal year started with summer 2015 events, including the 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. Ellwanger Garden also hosted summer activities, with Tuesday Evening Twilight Hours open for all to enjoy the cooling breezes in our own “secret garden.” In September 2015 The Inside Downtown Tour brought enthusiastic ticket holders to the Washington Square area. This popular urban tour gives you the chance to get inside the newest loft apartments, live-work spaces, and businesses in adaptively reused buildings. People were thrilled to see the view from the top of the Capron Lofts, to get a sneak peak of the renovations underway at Geva Theatre, and to get into the newest loft apartments at our “satellite tour location”—the Edge of the Wedge. Our travel tours also took off in September, with an at-capacity group heading to Pittsburgh. We toured the iconic Fallingwater and the lesser known Wright-designed Kentuck Knob; enjoyed the Pittsburgh Symphony, drank beer and toasted an oomph-band in a former church turned microbrewery, and so much more. Visiting, sleeping and dining in historic landmarks is the epitome of experiencing these unique places.

Landmark Travel Tour to Cuba

Our second annual Cocktails & Carburetors took place on September 26th with an exclusive cruise-in and cocktail party at Horsepower Motors followed by Oak Hill Country Club’s Classics at the Hill event the next day. The planning committee, led by Jerry Ludwig, put on an amazing party. Attendees took the opportunity to display their own vintage vehicles during the cruise-in. The amazing collection of restored classics at Horsepower gave the guests their fill of eye candy. The food was great, the band was enjoyable, the silent auction was cut throat and the crowd was appreciative—a perfect evening all around. And with the Oak Hill event on Sunday, this was truly a weekend celebration of the automobile. Thanks to the committee members for a job well done and all the sponsors for their support. October 2015 The Landmark Society Ghost Walk returned for its 22nd year. This night time guided walking tour attracts 1,000 people 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 2016 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. We

had record-setting attendance with over 1600 young people participating. Talented actors perform an interactive program, bringing to life the Ancestors, from Captain Sunfish to Frederick and Anna Douglass, to community activist Bessie Hamm. 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 AfricanAmerican congregation. The Landmark Society made history in March 2016 with a “People to People” week-long tour to Cuba. Our group met architects and city planners, historians and musicians. We stayed in the iconic Hotel Nacional, and traveled to the 18th century town of Trinidad. The highlight for many was visiting the School of Restoration Arts—where students learn skills needed to restore historic buildings and statues, with a guarantee of employment when they graduate. 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. Our final event was the 46th annual House and Garden Tour. We seem to use the term “historic” and “record setting” quite a lot in this fiscal year. There are no other words to use for this event. The East Avenue and East Boulevard neighborhoods were powerful enticements. Over 2,000 people attended—more than in any other year.
