(WXXI News & AP) Twenty-two locations in New York state have been nominated for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration announced the selections this week.
In the Finger Lakes region, they include:
--East Main Street Historic District, Rochester – The intact downtown neighborhood contains a mix of buildings that together illustrate the growth and development of Rochester’s east side historic commercial and retail center from the oldest buildings to the construction of the Chase Tower in 1973.
--Le Roy Downtown Historic District, LeRoy – The highly intact collection of residential and commercial buildings, built between 1811 and 1963 along the primary traffic artery through Le Roy, demonstrates its growth from frontier settlement to a bustling community at the turn of the 20th century.
--The Terminal Building, Rochester – Built 1924-26 as the first building to front Broad Street, the office building is an embodiment of the growth and transformation of downtown Rochester in the 1920s, after the Erie Canal aqueduct was transformed into an automobile and subway conduit.
The 22 sites will be listed on the state Register of Historic Places after formal approval by the state's historic preservation officer. They will then be reviewed by federal officials for possible listing on the national register.
