var str = 'Beginning June 22, 1972 slow-moving Hurricane Agnes made landfall in New York state and by the next day had deluged Southern Tier communities with heavy rains. Major rivers like the Allegheny, Genesee, and Susquehanna were many feet above flood stage--in some cases rising by seven inches per hour--and several towns declared evacuations. The damage was considerable: bridges, railway lines, businesses, homes, and farms were flooded.
Following in a long American tradition, a rapidly published book of photos and descriptions was created to commemorate the event. In this photograph, the caption reads: "Flooding in area of Erie-Lackawanna bridge over Little Valley Creek in West Salamanca. "';

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. ';

To the left, Court Street Bridge has railroad terminals on either side of the Genesee: on this side, the Lehigh Valley (still standing today as Dinosaur Bar B Que restaurant); on the far side the Erie Railroad. The sign at near right for the "People's Safety Show" probably dates the photo to 1914, advertising an exposition on worker safety at the Rochester Convention Center.';

var str = 'Number 45 on the Burleigh map, the firm alongside the Erie Railroad dates to 1892 when John Ball (1855-1936) formed a partnership with his younger brother Thomas--who had been a principal in the firm of Ball & Donahue. Eventually their facility came to encompass a grain elevator, a bean dryer, a mill, and facilities for processing coal delivered by the railroad.
Beneath this skeletal history are hints of the catastrophes routinely faced by merchants in an era before modern fire-resistant architecture and alarm systems. After commencing operations in 1891, a fire in 1896 destroyed Ball's structure. It was the third major Caledonia fire in six years. The "Advertiser" sardonically recommended that the village "ought to erect a great big portable grand-stand on wheels, so that when a fire occurs the spectators might have comfortable seats" (8 Oct. 1896). Ball's losses were estimated to be at least $15,000, yet two weeks later he already was consulting with a Buffalo architect for a new and "far better" elevator (Caledonia "Advertiser" 22 Oct. 1896).
In 1910, the firm constructed a "modern concrete coal shed"--presumably more fireproof than its earlier version. These various advertisements show the company's gradual shift from agriculture to energy, from coal to oil delivery. ';
