Rochester, New York, USA


Duffy-McInnerney Co., 1909

Businessmen James Duffy and Thomas Henry McInnerney built the 7 story structure to house their department store, the second largest in the state. The top 7th floor 800-seat restaurant was a
unique attraction to the original department store versus rival Sibley’s. It was also the first Rochester building to be electrified, using Edison light bulbs. rpastamps.org
