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.

From a hillside looking approximately southwest, view shows part of the watershed supplying Hemlock Lake and ultimately the city of Rochester, NY. At the time of this photograph the town's population would have been around 1,700 people, still primarily involved in agriculture. Springwater was established in 1816 and encompasses the highest point in Livingston County. During its early history stands of forest were logged before giving way to farming.

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.

The object also is notable for this specimen of tourist prose: "Long ago when the Seneca Indians were masters of a forest empire, this was Portage, the carrying place for war conoes. The beauty of the three great Falls and the magnificence of the gorge of the Genesee cast its spell over the untutored Red Man. The White men came and called the place 'The Grand Canyon of the East.'"

An account of the resource
Postcard shows guests taking in the scenery at a popular hotel located next to the Silver Lake Railroad. Actually, it was the <em>second </em>Walker House, the first having burned down in 1857. That earlier hotel was operated by Artemus B. Walker, whose desire to drum up business led to his role in an 1855 sighting of the so-called "Silver Lake Serpent." Two fisherman saw what they thought was a log, until a beast leaped from the water. Two years later, a fire at Walker House revealed the apparatus and he confessed to the hoax--it was an additional incentive to visit Silver Lake. <br /><br />Walker lived in Canada for a period, then returned to Silver Lake and built this later iteration of his hotel in 1869. He remained a promoter: his resort complex included boats, a diving platform, dance halls, and various amusements.

An account of the resource
This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources.<br /><br />First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. <br /><br />Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years.<br /><br />Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or <a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digitized articles from local newspapers</a>. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project. We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the Perry Public Library and its Director, Jessica Pacciotti.

Description
An account of the resource
Following the success of George Eastman's introduction of affordable cameras, the company's manufacturing infrastructure expanded rapidly. Postcard announces Rochester company as the "largest industry of its kind in the world." At its height in the mid-1960s, Kodak Park was comprised of 1,300 acres on a parcel four miles long, and housed 140 manufacturing buildings. At this location Kodak manufactured film, photographic paper, processing chemicals, magnetic tape, and some 4,000 other "research chemicals." 20,000 employees worked there, so the company's description of Kodak Park as "virtually a city within a city" was justified. <br /><br />As a consequence of its chemical production, Kodak Park also had an outsized ecological footprint--one that became increasingly public by the 1980s in the wake of Love Canal. Dioxin, methylene chloride, and many other hazardous wastes led to its status as (by far) the largest polluter in Western New York. Between 1974 and 2007, Kodak secretly operated a small nuclear reactor; in 2013 it was revealed that the company had buried radioactive waste at the western edge of this complex. The two large smokestacks at the photo's center were part of a coal-fired electrical plant that burned perhaps 600,000 tons of coal per year generting up to 200 megawatts--the equivalent of a city of 200,000. In 2018, one of only three such plants in New York state, converted to natural gas (also a fossil fuel). <br /><br />Several buildings were demolished, the plot of land was renamed Eastman Business Park, and its chemical reckoning continues.<br /><br />Works Consulted: Eastman Kodak, <em>The Kodak Park Works</em><em>: Where Kodak Film, Papers, and Chemicals are Made</em> (1964)

Title
A name given to the resource
Mills of Genesee Valley
Description
An account of the resource
Before the commercial extraction of fossil fuels from the Oil Creek region of northern Pennsylvania, most mechanical work in the Genesee Valley was done by human and animal power, or some source ultimately derived from the sun: burning wood, wind power, or flowing water. The exception to this, of course, was coal--by the 1880s America's dominant source of energy. <br /><br />Due to the Genesee region's ample supply of wood and running water, along with the cost of shipping coal, it's quite common to find instances of various water mills in the area's history. They were adapted to a wide range of uses: cutting wood into timber and milling it into specialized shapes (<strong>lumber mill</strong>); grinding corn into animal feed or for distilling alcohol (<strong>grist mill</strong>); grinding wheat or other grains (<strong>flour mill</strong>); creating boxes and other products from wood pulp (<strong>paper mill</strong>); fabricating metals (<strong>triphammer mill</strong>); powering industrial equipment <strong>(textile mill</strong>); and by the 1880s creating electricity via turbines.<br /><br />This collection gathers various documents concerning mills in the Genesee Valley. In addition to images and written texts, there is also an interactive map illustrating the density of their usage during the mid-nineteenth century.

An account of the resource
Five miles downstream from here, the Genesee River empties into Lake Ontario at Charlotte, and the base of the falls has been a major spawning ground for salmon and lake trout until non-native fish like the alewife reduced their numbers. <a href="https://openvalley.org/exhibits/show/seth-green--home-waters">The fisherman Seth Green</a> ran a large commercial operation nearby in the lower gorge; ironically, his success also contributed to declining stocks and led to his experiments in pisciculture and eventually a fish hatchery located in Caledonia, NY. <br /><br />At the time of this photograph, an extensive engineering project recently had constructed Rochester Gas & Electric's Hydro Station #15--a portion of which is shown at left--and transformed the falls themselves. An 80-foot long concrete facing raised the falls to a height of 96 feet and created an intake dam 17 feet in depth. The building at right is a remaining part of the settlement called McCrackenville, chartered in 1821 and best known as an industrial site: flour and paper milling, carpet-making, furniture manufacture, a tannery. In 1850 the city of Rochester annexed the land as part of its plans for residential development along Lake Avenue; eventually it was remade as Lower Falls Park, from which visitors have a spectacular view of the gorge.

At the time of this photograph the buildings and trees shown on Main Street were little more ten years old, rebuilt in 1892 after a devastating fire. In addition to the Soldiers Monument (dedicated in 1900), the Hotel Kreisler figures prominently.
Postcard is colorized version of a photograph that dates at least as far back as 1907 but not before 1900 (when the Soldiers Monument was dedicated). This "Litho-Chrome" printing (serial #C-7275) places it between 1907 and 1914, when the Great War changed print locations to the U.S.

The distinctive "Sky Tint" blue of this postcard probably dates it to the 1920s, and in confirmation we see both horse-drawn wagons and automobiles on Geneseo's (as-yet unpaved) Main Street. At left is the sign of Frazer, Green & Leadinham's hardware store, a barber pole visible in front. At postcard's center is the Emmeline Austin Wadsworth fountain, dedicated in 1888 and better known as the Bronze Bear.
