var str = 'Postcard shows view of a decrepit water wheel, almost certainly located at the outlet of Conesus Lake where it becomes Conesus Creek. If so, then the photograph shows remnants of what had been a broom-handle factory operated by L.P. West, then upgraded by Henry Spencer during the 1880s to include manufacture of pumps, ladders, and farm gates. Spencer also added steam power so as to continue operations during times of low water flow. But by 1895 or 1896 the business had faded away but not, as the photo suggests, interest in its picturesque water wheel.';

var str = 'Real-photo postcard shows a mill site alongside Conesus Creek where Emme Light rebuilt after a fire had destroyed an earlier one named "Glen Avon." He retained that name, and became well known for his trademarked varieties of flour: Peerless, Sweet Violet, Daisy, and White Rose. Sometime the operation was called "Light's Mill," as on this image.
Ownership of the mill passed to sons John and William, then to his granddaughter Lucy (Light) McDonald who in 1949 leased it to a Dutch miller named George A. Bass. In 1951, the town of Avon purchased the mill for its more valuable Conesus Lake water rights, then sold the property back to Bass. Glen Avon ceased operations sometime around the late 1950s. The structure remains standing today as a private home.';

var str = '200-foot stone viaduct was constructed by the Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad sometime around 1856-57, crossing the outlet of Conesus Lake not far from where that creek joins the Genesee River. By 1859 the planned rail line between Mt. Morris and Rochester had been completed, but it struggled financially and eventually was leased to the Erie Railroad beginning in 1873.
The viaduct's use of wooden timbers, visible in this photograph, led to ongoing structural concerns and perhaps accounts for the rail line's conversion to a small electric commuter route, which operated 13 runs daily between Mt. Morris and Rochester starting in 1907 and lasting into the late 1930s. The tracks were torn up in 1940 due to declining ridership in the age of automobiles, but the Five Arch Bridge has had an afterlife as a symbol of Avon history. ';
