Reynolds Arcade, Art Deco office building in downtown Rochester, United States
The Reynolds Arcade rises eleven stories high with a limestone facade and features a five-bay tower that steps back from the fifth floor.
Built in 1933 to replace its 1829 predecessor, the Reynolds Arcade became a central commercial structure in Rochester's downtown development.
The building housed numerous enterprises including the origins of Bausch & Lomb optical business and served as Rochester's first post office location.
Located at 16 East Main Street, the Reynolds Arcade contains retail spaces on the ground floor and professional offices in the upper levels.
Thomas Edison developed his quadruplex telegraphic system within the original arcade while George Eastman started his first employment there.
