Talman Building, Historic office building in Rochester, United States.
The Talman Building stands at 25 East Main Street in Rochester, with architectural features reflecting both its original design and 20th-century modifications.
John T. Talman acquired the plot in 1839, and the building later housed Frederick Douglass's newspaper office during his publication of The North Star from 1847.
The structure functioned as a stop on the Underground Railroad, providing shelter to numerous individuals seeking freedom, including groups led by Harriet Tubman.
The building contains multiple professional service companies, including law firms and P22 Type Foundry, which produces fonts using historical printing equipment.
The basement of the Talman Building served as a designated fallout shelter during the Cold War period, adding another layer to its historical significance.
