EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the enchanting streets of Rochester in 1864. The image showcases the majestic East Gate House, standing tall and proud against a backdrop of bustling activity. Its grandeur is undeniable, with intricate architectural details that speak volumes about the craftsmanship of its time. Flanking either side of this historic landmark are two establishments that were an integral part of Rochester's social fabric during this era - Brooks & Taphouse. These names evoke a sense of nostalgia as we imagine patrons enjoying lively conversations over pints or indulging in delectable meals within these hallowed walls. The albumen silver print technique used to capture this moment adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing our appreciation for both the architecture and history it represents. It is as if time has stood still, allowing us a glimpse into a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets and gas lamps illuminated evening strolls. While we may not know all the stories held within these walls or who frequented them during their existence between 1864 and 1866, this photograph serves as a testament to their significance in shaping Rochester's past. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved on paper, let us marvel at how far we have come while cherishing the rich heritage that continues to define our present-day cityscape.
