Looking north, from Highland Park, we can trace the Genesee River to Lake Ontario. Several features from Rochester's earliest days still are visible: the Erie Canal (and its viaduct across the Genesee), mills along the gorge near High Falls, the neighborhood of Corn Hill, Mt. Hope Cemetery, and more. Although the panorama doesn't have numbered points and a legend, street names are clearly visible and many commercial buildings are labeled.

Title A name given to the resource Charlotte on Lake Ontario, the Coney Island of Central New York Description An account of the resource Postcard from a birds-eye view shows the lakeside amusement park near the height of its popularity. The green-roofed building near center likely is the Hotel Ontario, a connection between the area's past as a resort during the 1870s-80s, and its increasing emphasis upon larger crowds of day visitors by the 1890s. (The railroad at left was an important factor.) The amusement park featured a midway, roller coasters, a slide that went into Lake Ontario, a sandy beach, and not least other people to watch. In 1916 the City of Rochester annexed Charlotte and purchased the amusement park two years later. After a fire in 1919 it was torn down, and it's possible the conflagration at upper right references this event, in which case the postcard's original artwork was modified. All that's left of the amusement park is its Dentzel carousel, which remains in operation a century later.

Title A name given to the resource Along the Beach at Charlotte, NY Description An account of the resource Postcard depicts Lake Ontario Shore looking east toward the mouth of the Genesee River. At left is a sailboat moored at the West Pier; the red-roofed building at upper center may be a resort hotel called the Spencer House. Along the boardwalk and beach we see visitors of all kinds, including a dog. From its beginnings as a resort during the 1870s-80s, Charlotte hosted ever-larger numbers of visitors via train and by 1900 was primarily an amusement park often compared to Coney Island. After annexation of Charlotte in 1916, the resort eventually was torn down due to longstanding concerns about "immoral" behavior--coded language for its numerous saloons. Today the area is known as Ontario Beach Park. Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Souvenir Post Card Co.

It originated as a trolly destination in an era without air conditioning; temperatures due to the lake-breeze effect could be 10 degrees cooler. In the postcard we see travelers on the Rochester & Suburban Railway debarking upon company land, anticipating various concessions and by the time of this photograph several rides--including carousels and a figure-eight roller coaster. In 1920 Sea Breeze built its famous wooden "Jack Rabbit" roller coaster, currently the second-oldest one in the US. Through financial challenges, new owners, destructive fires, and social change it has managed to remain open and share its pleasures with new generations.

Passenger use climbed with trolley lines running along both sides of the river by century's end and a developing tourism scene lakeside. The "Windsor" shown here was built in 1894 and powered by a steam engine pulling it back and forth across the 500-foot river's mouth attached to a chain line. A trip lasted about seven minutes. The ship carried vehicles and had 200 life preservers on board. Due to increasing use of the Stutson Street bridge upriver, the "Windsor" ferry finally was shut down in 1927.

The bulletin was published under the auspices of Cornell University's Department of Horticulture and as such the text and photographs contain mostly technical material. But the text also provides a documentary glimpse of apple growers and their laborers in the early 1900s. Captions to the photos are printed in order: 1. An ideal Baldwin apple-tree for Western New York 2. The usual method of sorting in Orleans county—directly from the table 3. Picking from the table—a slower but more careful method of sorting 4. The old "mother tree" from which all of Mr. Smith's trees were grafted. It bears excellent apples and good crops of them. About 500 trees have been grafted from this tree. 5. A good harvest. Barreled and ready for storing. 6. Hauling to the depot. 7. Shore north of Ontario. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived John Craig, with G. F. Warren and W. E.

This last one flowed in two directions around the Adirondack Mountains, one south into the Champlain Valley and the other southwest into the St. Lawrence Valley. Many distinctive features of New York state are the consequence of glacial advance and retreat, like the Finger Lakes, Long Island (itself a terminal moraine), Lake Ontario, and the palisades of Hudson River.
