Entrance detail

Reynolds Arcade is an office building located in Rochester in Monroe County, New York.

Overview

It is an eleven-story, Art Deco style commercial / office building with arcaded shops on the first floor. It was built in 1933[2] of steel frame construction and is faced on the exterior with Indiana limestone. The central portion of the building is a five bay, eleven story "tower" which steps back from the fifth floor.[3]

It replaced a building with the same name that was constructed in 1829. The most ambitious structure in Rochester at that time, it was, according to Joseph W. Barnes, a Rochester City Historian, "the center of Rochester downtown life for more than a century."[4]
