Wilder Building, Historic office building in Rochester, United States.
The Wilder Building stands as an eleven-story steel-framed structure with brick cladding, constructed in the Romanesque Revival architectural style in downtown Rochester.
Built between 1887 and 1888 by architect Andrew Jackson Warner, this building marked the emergence of Rochester's first modern skyscraper in the late nineteenth century.
The building represents the transition period in American architecture when technological advances enabled the construction of taller structures using steel frame methods.
Located at 1 East Main Street in Rochester, the Wilder Building continues to function as an office space in the central business district.
The mail chute installed during construction in 1887 remains the oldest surviving example of this postal innovation in the United States.
