The Rochester Room

The Rochester Room is home to such an array of tasteful items which represent Rochester, that visitors often comment on how surprised they are at our selection. A posted list names the thirty or more area artists and craftspeople whose work does not depict Rochester but is "made in" Rochester and is found elsewhere throughout the store.

Rochester scenes are depicted in:
• Color photographs by Steve Pete
• Black and white photographs by James Barclay,
www.barclaystudios.com
• Prints of watercolors by Jim Christy.

All of the books published by The Rochester Landmark Society, as well as books on hiking, biking, Rochester history, and the Erie Canal fill the Rochester bookshelf.

T-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, note paper, tote bags, and more round out The Rochester Room . . . but if you’re looking for the traditional shot glass or spoon, you’ll need to go somewhere else.
