Title A name given to the resource New Deal Gallery Description An account of the resource This collection of more than 200 paintings owes its existence to two primary causes: allocations from the Federal Art Project to a New York state tuberculosis sanatorium located at Mt. Morris--the landscapes and still lifes were thought to be restful--and to the committed volunteers who helped preserve the paintings after the hospital closed. For several decades the canvases were stored in non-climate-controlled basements; it appears that doctors and staff removed at least three dozen works as "keepsakes." Despite the seeming tranquility of the paintings, they were created by artists primarily from New York City whose background was more political and aesthetically adventurous than this rural location would indicate. <a href="https://openvalley.org/exhibits/show/green-new-deal/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Follow this hyperlink to a short introduction to the New Deal Gallery collection</a>. We're grateful to the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts for access to their collection, which has been re-photographed and appears here at two resolutions: a cropped, web-friendly file size of around 1 MB; and a high-resolution file including the painting's frame. Items in this collection were created according to a consistent format: a short description of each painting in formal terms, followed by a biography of each artist. Where possible we have supplied hyperlinks relevant to their lives and to other examples of their art.

Title A name given to the resource Five Arch Bridge With Interurban Train Description An account of the resource Beginning in roughly the 1900s, electric interurban rail lines became popular across the US. Their lower profile--in terms of size, weight and emissions--made them ideal for commuters traveling to cities. The Erie Railroad joined this trend by adding service along an existing line between Mt. Morris and Rochester. The postcard view here shows one such journey across the town of Avon's five-arch bridge during the 1920s. Service stops included Mt. Morris, Cuylerville, Geneseo, Ashantee, Avon, West Rush, West Henrietta, Mortimer, and Rochester. Initially, 24 trains ran daily; by 1931, however, that number had been cut in half, and in 1941 all passenger service was terminated as automobiles supplanted interurban rail service. The Erie RR tore up all tracks south of Avon. Work Consulted: Arch Merrill, “Interurbans Had a Day...And a Pleasant Day it Was,” Rochester Democrat & Chronicle 13 Feb 1949: 29.
